The naval research lab has a page of images of crystal structures all of which are PD. Zeimusu 13:50, 2004 Dec 24 (UTC)
- I can't access the link you're giving. Is it just me ? --Totophe64 23:51, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History
The article could use a bit of the history, how the science developed & by who. All I know is, there was x-ray crystallography done c 1912. Trekphiler 18:26, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Electron diffraction
I'd like to remove this sentence "Thus far, electron diffraction has not been widely used." since, in my opinion, it's not quite correct. It depends, of course, on what you mean by "widely used", but practically all work with transmission electron microscopy will involve an element of electron diffraction (at least in materials science and solid state physics/chemistry) and this consitiutes "wide use" in my opinion. Anyway, electron diffraction can't be any more rare than neutron diffraction? O. Prytz 08:36, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Yes, electron diffraction is much used in Chemistry and Physics, but not so much in BioChemistry or Mineralogy ( where X-rays are extensively used ). Well, this isn't the most important, but we can modify it ;). Anyway, neutron diffraction is much more rare than electron diffraction. --Totophe64 14:42, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

- I changed it. I also added a new paragraph at the end of the introduction detailing the different types of radiation-sample interactions. Not realy sure if that fits in there. O. Prytz 15:39, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

- I don't see where it could fit else ... I think it's good where it is ;-) !!--Totophe64 00:48, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pole?
The current article reads In fact, the pole to each face is plotted on the net. This is the only mention of pole on the page, so it isn't really explained very well. It links to a disambiguation page (probably a bad idea) where we find
In crystallography, a pole is a line perpendicular to a crystal face that is used to plot that face on a stereographic net. This allows the 3D aspect of the face to be plotted in 2 dimensions.
This is also confusing (sounds kind of like a surface normal to me) and really doesn't belong on a disambiguation page anyways, so I offer it you to include somewhere on this page, or another page (but not on the dismabiguation page), or to toss. Ewlyahoocom 09:04, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Scientists of note
I've moved the "see also" links to people to a section on their own, and then expanded the section. The list is far from complete, and I would suggest that there's a case for these links being in a separate page. 09:05, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] list of crystal topics or list of crystallography topics?
Neither of these exists. Should they? Michael Hardy 19:37, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
I recently added this link Commission on Crystallographic Teaching, Pamphlets
There is a lot of good information there, and im sure some of it should be added to this article. I do not, however, know the kind of usage this site allows. And I cant seem to find it either. BlindEagle42 22:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
