To visualize the arrangement of atoms within molecules, researchers can use the diffraction patterns obtained by passing X-ray beams through crystals of the molecule. This is a common way for solving the structures of proteins. See image <a href="https://images.nigms.nih.gov/pages/DetailPage.aspx?imageid2=2512">2512</a> for a labeled version of this illustration.
