Abstract
We present the results of our recent observations on He-3 crystals grown fr om the superfluid phase at 0.55 mK. The crystal images were obtained with a low-temperature multiple-beam interferometer. The angles between the cryst al facets were measured by employing a phase-shift technique and true 3D sh apes of the crystals were reconstructed on the basis of the obtained inform ation. Three different types of facets (110), (100) and (211) were clearly visible in these experiments.
