A simple experiment to explore and illustrate Bragg diffraction and reciprocal space using a laser pointer and Au microdisc arrays is demonstrated. The flexibility of the array design allows the demonstration of basic concepts such as lattice and atomic form factor, but also more advanced ones such as quasicrystal and shape function.
