Product Overview
The TYPES OF CRYSTAL STRUCTURE – PHYSICAL CHART is a meticulously designed educational tool that visually represents the seven fundamental crystal systems (cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, hexagonal, trigonal, monoclinic, and triclinic) with precise geometric accuracy. Engineered for clarity, this chart features high-contrast color coding and labeled lattice parameters to facilitate quick comprehension of crystallographic principles. The laminated surface ensures resistance to moisture, chemicals, and physical wear, making it suitable for frequent handling in laboratory or classroom environments. Printed on 200 GSM premium paper with UV-resistant inks, the chart maintains vibrant colors and sharp details even under prolonged fluorescent lighting. Its standard A2 dimensions (420 × 594 mm) provide optimal visibility for group study while remaining portable. The reverse side includes a concise legend explaining Miller indices and axial relationships, serving as a self-contained reference. This chart adheres to IUCr (International Union of Crystallography) nomenclature standards, ensuring compatibility with academic curricula and research protocols.
FAQs
1. What printing technology ensures the chart’s color accuracy?
The chart uses 6-color offset printing with Pantone-matched inks to maintain precise hue consistency across production batches.
2. Can this chart be used with overhead projectors?
While not transparent, the matte laminate reduces glare, making it suitable for photography or digital projection when placed on document cameras.
3. Are there alternative formats like digital downloads available?
This product is currently available only as a physical chart, though some suppliers may offer complementary digital previews for educational institutions.
4. What’s the ideal storage condition to prevent curling?
Store flat in a cool, dry environment (below 25°C and 50% humidity) with acid-free backing boards to preserve dimensional stability.
5. Does this chart include examples of real minerals for each system?
The primary focus is on geometric lattice representation, though common mineral examples (e.g., halite for cubic) are noted in the accompanying legend.
