Crystal Optics ke lekala la mahlale le ithutang ho ata ha leseli ka kristale e le 'ngoe le liketsahalo tse amanang le eona. Phatlalatso ea khanya ka likristale tsa cubic ke isotropic, ha e fapane le ea likristale tsa amorphous homogeneous. Litsamaisong tse ling tse tšeletseng tsa kristale, tšobotsi e tloaelehileng ea ho phatlalatsoa ha leseli ke anisotropy. Ka hona, ntho ea lipatlisiso ea kristale optics ha e le hantle ke anisotropic optical medium, ho kenyeletsoa kristale ea metsi.
