crystal system but not of the point<br />

group of the crystal<br />

• Possible in tetragonal, trigonal,<br />

hexagonal and cubic crystal<br />

systems<br />

• Exact overlap of reciprocal lattices<br />

• Often low value for E-Value<br />

statistics<br />

• Laue group and space group<br />

determination may be difficult<br />

• Structure solution may be difficult<br />
