Mirror surface

Japanese: 鏡映面 - きょうえいめん
Mirror surface

[Mirror symmetry]
Also, when a figure has a symmetry, the part of the figure on the side of the plane that passes through the point of inversion and is perpendicular to the axis of reflection is reflected by that plane, so the symmetry element is called a mirror plane, and in this case it is represented by m, for mirror, instead of m .
[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.
