Phil Outlaw with X-ray unit. The X-ray machine is shown with the precession camera mounted. Precession photographs confirmed that we had a single crystal and allowed us to allign crystals of organic solids with respect to their crystallographic planes. This machine was also used to irradiate those crystals with X-rays so that we could study radiation damage using ESR.

Shown above right is a precession photograph that shows evidence of a single crystal that is very nearly aligned. The X-ray exposure dots reveal the symmetry of the crystal and can be used to get relative measurements of the crystal lattice spacing.
