An excellent book for professional crystallographers! In 2012 the crystallographic community
celebrated 100 years of X-ray diffraction in honour of the pioneering experiment in 1912 by Max
von Laue Friedrich and Knipping. Experimental developments e.g. brilliant X-ray sources area
detection and developments in computer hardware and software have led to increasing
applications in X-ray analysis. This completely revised edition is a guide for practical work
in X-ray analysis. An introduction to basic crystallography moves quickly to a practical and
experimental treatment of structure analysis. Emphasis is placed on understanding results and
avoiding pitfalls. Essential reading for researchers from the student to the professional level
interested in understanding the structure of molecules.
