Diffraction on a cleavage plane in zircon

Post by Scarodactyl »

I spotted this neat diffraction pattern in a zircon crystal from a parcel I recently picked up. FoV is about 7mm.

Wild M400 head/Leica z16 with a Leica 1.6x apo objective (which is meant for an MZ125/MZ16 and is almost compatible, but I had to crop the edges as they develop some odd distortion).
