Acknowledgements
This is a very short summary of a 2.5-h lecture which has evolved over many years of teaching crystallography. It contains input from Martin Noble and Airlie McCoy, and I am very grateful to both of them for continued discussions on improving our teaching of these topics, which are conceptually challenging.
Funding
The funding for the Workshop came from the GCRF START (Synchrotron Techniques for African Research and Technology), IUPAB and the SA National Research Foundation (NRF).
