Japanese: 鏡映面 - きょうえいめん

[Helical symmetry]
In addition, a spiral, which is a combination of a rotation and a translation along the axis of rotation, can also be a symmetry operation for a crystal structure.

[鏡映対称]
 また図形がをもつと,それは反転の点を通って回反軸に垂直な面の側の図形の部分が,他の側の部分をその面で映したような関係になっているので,その対称要素は鏡映面とよばれ,この場合はの代りに鏡mirrorのmで表す。
[らせん対称]
 さらに,回転と回転軸の方向の並進tとの合成であるらせん(螺旋)も結晶構造の対称操作となりうる。…
