If the crystal is rotated until a second face reflects into the telescope, then the angle of rotation, which can be read accurately on a graduated circle, is the angle formed by the normals of the two planes. A crystallographic database is a database specifically designed to store information about crystals and crystal structures. The goniometer led to the discovery of the three fundamental laws of descriptive or morphological crystallography.
