X-ray diffraction pattern. Computer illustration of an X-ray diffraction pattern (centre), used to determine the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal (lower left). This pattern shows the scattering of radiation produced when X-rays are impacted with an atom. The pattern produced is unique to the atom and can therefore be used to identify the test subject.
