3 types of crystal lattice
Crystallography methods analyze diffraction patterns of a substance caused by shining a beam of radiation at it.
Electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays are the most common, but neutrons and electrons are also used.
The three types of beams – X-ray, electron, or neutron – interact with the substance in different ways..
The seven crystal systems are triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, trigonal, hexagonal, and cubic.
Informally, two crystals are in the same crystal system if they have similar symmetries (albeit there are many exceptions).
