strain in glass

I would appreciate if someone would give me an idea what should I use to measure strains in a glass using a simple equipment.

Dear sir,
What you need is a simple equipment which can produce polarised light. to be specific.There should be a source of light on one end of a simple drum or encasement.The emanating light should pass through a polarising glass. The material whose strain has to be maesured should be inserted in between the exiting light rays and a polarising glass ete piece.Compare the strain pattern with standard strain discs available in market.
