Read the displayed axes as horizontal and vertical ; the viewing direction is therefore consistent with . crystal facets edge-on in this projection have normals in the plane. The flat upper/lower boundaries are approximately horizontal, the end face vertical, and the bevels approximately to both.
A probable low-index assignment is upper face , end face and lower-right bevel , with the upper-right bevel if it is also indexed. Thus the flat faces belong to and the diagonal faces to .
For example,
giving and between normals. The upper normal and lower bevel normal instead make ; their acute unoriented plane angle is . Adjacent polygon corners between a flat edge and bevel have internal angles near .
The distinction between a normal angle, an acute plane angle and an internal polygon angle avoids a supplementary-angle error. This is a probable projected indexation, not a unique full three-dimensional crystal facet reconstruction. The associated work uses tomography precisely to recover information absent from one projection.[ref] The original facet-normal diagram in the growth-and-LED figure shows the relation independently of the source micrograph.
