Columbia University Libraries has acquired a site license for CrystalMaker, a program for building, displaying, manipulating and animating all kinds of crystal & molecular structures. Featuring stunning, real-time graphics and powerful yet accessible tools.  Version 10 now available for Windows and Mac!

We also now have CrystalDiffract and SingleCrystal, for all your molecular analysis needs.

Please note that the vendor has discontinued support for CrystalMaker 9.  Your installation should still work but you will no longer receive updates or support for the software.
