X-ray crystallography – History

Early scientific history of crystals and X-rays X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895, just as the studies of crystal symmetry were being concluded. Physicists were initially uncertain of the nature of X-rays, although it was soon suspected (correctly) that they were waves of electromagnetic radiation, in other words, another form of light.

Crystallography – Introduction

Crystallography is the experimental science of determining the arrangement of atoms in solids. The word “crystallography” is derived from the Greek words ”crystallon” = cold drop / frozen drop, with its meaning extending to all solids with some degree of transparency, and ”grapho” = write. Before the development of X-ray diffraction crystallography (see below), the [...]

Know more about minerals

Consumers should know that the mineral is a natural occurring solid, formation occurs through geological processes , having characteristic chemical composition which shows a large atomic structure carrying specific physical properties. For understanding mineral consumers can see rock which don not need anykind of specific chemical composition.
