Crystal morphology heavily depends on being able to visualize crystal geometric shape and face indexing in three dimensional space. The XMORPH applet has been developed for internet accessible viewing of crystal morphology for crystals in which information is known about the cell parameters, symmetry, and the identification of the faces present. The XMorph applet was developed by Dedong Wu (dedongwu@yahoo.com)

Be patient while downloading the applets!

Hold the left key of the mouse and drag the figure to rotate the crystal. Click the left key to change viewing modes.

In addition to the XMorph applet, there are a series of earlier applets that can be used to visualize volumes.
