The fifth, the monoclinic -- or clinorhombic, monosymmetric, or oblique -- system, has also three axes, all of them unequal.

-
In clinorhombic crystals one of the principal directions of absorption of each crystal coincides with the only axis of symmetry; the two other principal rectangular directions of each band may be found variously disposed in the plane normal to this axis.

-
We have just seen that in clinorhombic crystals the principal absorption directions of certain bands were completely different from the axis of optical elasticity of the crystal for the corresponding radiations.
