Figure 3915a shows the standard indexed diffraction patterns for fcc crystals. The ratios of the principal spot spacings are shown as well as the angles between the principle plane normals. Forbidden refelections are indicated in red.

The diffraction patterns listed in Figure 3915a are normally good enough in diffraction analyses because we either only need simple study of material structures for routine work or rarely find higher order reflections (the Ewald sphere intercepts the HOLZ at large scattering angles). Otherwise, we call the indexed patterns in Figure 3915a as ZOLZ patterns for better description, here, hU + kV + lW = 0. On the other hand, the higher order diffraction patterns are called FOLZ pattern, SOLZ pattern, and so on. Figure 3915b shows the possible FOLZ (first order Laue zone) reflections for three principal zone axes of an fcc specimen. Here, hU + kV + lW = 1.
