Abstract
We report on our recent observations on growing 3He crystals in which altogether eleven different types of facets were found. The crystals were imaged with a novel low-temperature Fabry-Pérot interferometer. Intensity based analysis methods combined with a phase shift technique were used to identify the observed facets.
