Abstract
IT is well known that when an etching solution is applied to a metallic crystal, the action takes place so as to leave the surface ‘stepped’ in such a way that optical reflection takes place from planes in the crystal which are definitely related to the crystallographic axes. We have investigated this relationship with single crystals of iron, nickel, and aluminium.
