The design characteristics of the device suggested 
here provide the possibility of accomplishing uniaxial orientation 
of gels with retention of the constancy of their volume, thus making 
it possible to carry out highly accurate measurements of their anisotropic 
physical parameters in directions parallel and perpendicular to the 
axis of orientation of the gel. Using as examples polyacrylamide gels 
that contain biologically important molecules and membranes, we demonstrate 
the possibility of measuring the anisotropy of their luminous absorption 
and refraction.
