Crystal optique ni ishami rya siyanse yiga ikwirakwizwa ryumucyo muri kristu imwe nibintu bifitanye isano nayo. Ikwirakwizwa ryumucyo muri kristu ya cubic ni isotropic, ntaho itandukaniye niyi muri kristu ya amorphous. Mubindi bitandatu bya sisitemu, ibintu bisanzwe biranga urumuri ni anisotropy. Kubwibyo, ikintu cyubushakashatsi bwa kristu optique ni muburyo bwa anisotropique optique, harimo na kristu y'amazi.

Ikwirakwizwa ryumucyo muburyo bwa anisotropique optique irashobora gukemurwa icyarimwe nuburinganire bwa Maxwell hamwe nikigereranyo cyerekana anisotropy yibintu. Iyo tuganiriye kubibazo byindege, formulaire yo gusesengura iragoye. Iyo kwinjiza no guhitamo kuzenguruka kwa kristu bidasuzumwe, uburyo bwo gushushanya geometrike bukoreshwa mubikorwa, kandi indangagaciro ya ellipsoid hamwe nubuso bwumucyo bikoreshwa cyane. Ibikoresho byubushakashatsi bikunze gukoreshwa muri kristu ya optique ni refractometer, optique goniometero, microscope ya polarizing na spekitifotometero.

Crystal optique ifite porogaramu zingenzi mubyerekezo bya kristu, kumenyekanisha amabuye y'agaciro, imiterere ya kristu isesengura na ubushakashatsi ku bindi ibintu bya kristu optique nkibintu bidafite umurongo no gukwirakwiza urumuri. Crystal optiqueIbigizes, nka polarizing prism, indishyi, nibindi. zikoreshwa cyane mubikoresho bitandukanye bya optique hamwe nubushakashatsi.
