This video shows the exploration of several crystal structures using the Crystal Viewer Tool. Several powerful features of this tool are demonstrated, including the following:

• visualization of orthorhombic Bravais unit cells including simple primitive cell (SC), body centered cubic (BCC), face centered cubic (FCC), and base centered cubic (CXY)
• cycling between the various orthorhombic unit cells
• 3D rotation of unit cells and lattices
• visualization of an orthorhombic lattice composed of 3 unit cells in each dimension, for each unit cell type
• adjusting the displayed size of atoms and thickness of bonds
• orthoscopic projection of a lattice
