Four of our offerings in this category are applications for rendering and manipulating crystal images. These are, in alphabetical order:
- ATOMS from SHAPE Software
- CaRIne from Divergent Software
- Crystal Studio from CrystalSoft
- CrystalMaker from CrystalMaker Software
These are all excellent applications that get better with every version. I have meant for a long time to pull together a table comparing the capabilities of these four applications, but I probably will not get that done until July(?). In the meantime, a limited start.

The most recent news for these applications is that CrystalMaker is now available for Windows platforms. CrystalMaker has won many awards for its great graphics and ease of use, but it was only available for the Macintosh. CrystalMaker also has very attractive multiuser license pricing.
The Pauling File Binaries database has a large crystallographic database including experimental and calculated powder patterns.
