X-Ray Crystallography
Crystallography using X-rays is a highly effective non-destructive method for determining how molecules form the crystal. The X-ray crystallography technique utilizes the principles of X-ray diffraction in order to examine the specimen, however it’s conducted in a variety of directions, so it is possible that the 3-D structures of the sample can be constructed. It is a method that has been used to determine three-dimensional crystal structures of numerous substances, particularly biological ones.
