What is another word for x-ray crystallography?
Pronunciation: [ˈɛksɹˈe͡ɪ kɹˌɪstɐlˈɒɡɹəfi] (IPA) 
X-ray crystallography is a technique that is widely used in the field of chemistry and biochemistry. This technique has allowed scientists to determine the three-dimensional structure of molecules with remarkable accuracy. Although X-ray crystallography is the most commonly used term to describe this technique, there are other words and phrases that can be used synonymously such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray analysis, and crystal structure analysis. Each of these terms emphasizes a slightly different aspect of the technique, but all refer to the fundamental process of analyzing the diffraction patterns of X-rays as they pass through a crystalline sample to determine the atomic structure of molecules.
