A Simple 3-D Unit Cell

The figure represents a very small portion of a crystal of polonium. The space lattice in such a real crystal is three dimensional, so the unit cell is also three dimensional.

Click the links on the right to show a 3-D space lattice for the crystal. Click again to see a unit cell for the same crystal.
