I had a course in advanced materials analysis a few years back. We looked at several topics and did a lot of experiments. Among them were an xray diffraction and an electron diffraction lab. I wish I had seen your pages back then. On 5/27/06, pf <pfraundorf at umsl.edu> wrote: > Dear Chris, > > If your scalar field is continuous, you might also try plotting > isosurfaces.
