The face centered cubic (FCC) unit cell begins with a totally different layer, one that is packed much more efficiently. This figure shows the basic layer that will be repeated throughout the entire ...

This single layer is the precursor of the simple cubic (SC) unit cell. The lattice points are touching one another but not in the most efficient way. In other words, we are creating a lot of empty ...

The spacing between the thick myofilaments of muscle fibers from the walking legs of crayfish (Orconectes) was determined by optical transform analysis of electron micrograph plates of fixed single ...
