    1. Stereographic Projections Geol 3055 Klein (2000), p. 240-244 & 246-276

    2. How a spherical projection is produced Imagine a crystal inside a big transparent beach ball with a small, bright point of source light. Use pinholes to see the light passing through perpendicular to all the crystal’s faces Using the light points on each face, mark the faces in the inside of the ball (see Fig 6.3 p. 242 Klein) Each face represented by a point is called a face pole A stereographic projection is half (the northern hemisphere) of the spherical projection
