isometric crystal system
1Cubic crystal system — A rock containing three crystals of pyrite (FeS2). The crystal structure of pyrite is simple cubic, and this is reflected in the cubic symmetry of its natural crystal facets …
2Crystal system — Diamond crystal structure consists of face centered cubic lattice. In crystallography, the terms crystal system, crystal family, and lattice system each refer to one of several classes of space groups, lattices, point groups, or crystals.… …
3Monoclinic crystal system — An example of the monoclinic crystals, orthoclase In crystallography, the monoclinic crystal system is one of the 7 lattice point groups. A crystal system is described by three vectors. In the monoclinic system, the crystal is described by… …
4Orthorhombic crystal system — An example of the orthorhombic crystals, aragonite In crystallography, the orthorhombic crystal system is one of the seven lattice point groups. Orthorhombic lattices result from stretching a cubic lattice along two of its orthogonal pairs by two …
5crystal system — noun : any of the six or sometimes seven main groups into which crystals are commonly classified according to the relative lengths and inclinations of their axes or according to their respective symmetries see hexagonal system, isometric system,… …
6crystal system — Crystall. any of the six main classifications of crystals and of crystal lattices according to their symmetry: isometric, hexagonal, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, and triclinic. * * * …
7Isometric — The term isometric comes from the Greek for having equal measurement .isometric may mean: * Isometric projection (or “isometric perspective”), a method for the visual representation of three dimensional objects in two dimensions; a form of… …
8Crystal structure — In mineralogy and crystallography, crystal structure is a unique arrangement of atoms or molecules in a crystalline liquid or solid. A crystal structure is composed of a pattern, a set of atoms arranged in a particular way, and a lattice… …
