A technique in which the pattern produced by the diffraction? of x-ray?s through the closely spaced lattice of atoms in a crystal are recorded and then analyzed to reveal the nature of that lattice.

The material and molecular structure of a substance can often be inferred from the quantitative study of this pattern. It is widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to determine the structure of molecules.

- [Fourier transform]?
- [reciprocal space]?
- diffractometer?
- [molecular model]?
- [space group]?
