Optical Transformation Kit
Description: This kit illustrates how diffraction patterns depend on the lattice arrangement. The kit includes four slides — unit cell, discovery, VSEPR, and plane groups, each with a different lattice arrangement. We also have enough unit cell and discovery slides to pass out to students.
