Figure 1
Ellipsoids used in crystallographic illustrations. The 3D equal-probability ellipsoids (shown in the insert) can be understood by considering the 2D example, where ellipses of equal probability can be shown in both direct (blue) and reciprocal (green) space. Illustration inspired by the excellent book by Dunitz (1995BB41).
