How do you distinguish between olivine and pyroxene under microscope?

Olivine typically appears colorless to pale green under a microscope and has distinct cleavage patterns and high birefringence. Pyroxene, on the other hand, appears as dark to light green or brown, often showing two distinct cleavage angles at nearly 90 degrees and moderate to low birefringence. Additionally, pyroxene crystals tend to be longer and more elongated compared to olivine.
