The stereographic projections in the rear hemisphere can also be plotted. The stereographic projections
of planes and directions in the forward hemisphere are drawn as solid lines and dots respectively, those
in the rear hemisphere are plotted as dotted lines and circled dots respectively.
In practice, the projection is carried out by computer or by hand using a special kind of graph
paper called a stereographic net, shortened to stereonet, or Wulff net.
Standard Projections:
The plane of projection can be chosen to coincide with a standard low index plane (001) etc. for the
crystal system of interest. This is termed a (001) standard projection for instance. For a standard
projection the plane of projection will appear at the center of the Wulff net.
1. Define and give suitable illustration (figure, etc.) for the following:
a. Planes of a zone
b. Zone axis
c. Weiss Zone Law
2. Draw (a) 100, (b) 010 standard projection of a cubic crystal.
