Crystallographic autostereograms.
Perspective drawings of crystal structures can be presented as autostereograms (or single-image stereograms), and their performance for in-depth perception is similar or even more advantageous than of stereopairs. The autostereograms offer a convenient means for realistic insight into crystal structures without excessive size reduction of their drawings, as required when preparing stereopairs; thus structures either as simple as elements or as complex as proteins can be illustrated in enhanced resolution. The mathematical background and guidelines for preparing crystallographic autostereograms are described.
