This is a movie showing slices through crystals in different crystallographic orientations, and the corresponding indicatrix and interference colors. This is a big file and takes awhile to download. Make sure you have a current version of QuickTime to view it. The frame rate is fairly high so you might need to pause the movie and step through with the cursor keys during teaching.
