Figure 1619b (a) shows a two-fold axis, and Figure 1619b (b) shows the two-fold, three-fold and four-fold axes in a cubic structure.

A vertical glide plane results in a mirror line in the CBED pattern. At Bragg condition, a horizontal twofold axis or twofold screw axis in the ZOLZ along g presents a mirror line of symmetry onto disk g, and this line runs normal to g.
