Mirror Image

The Mirror Image tool displays the molecule together with its reflection in a mirror plane, so that the two can be compared directly. Whether the two structures can be brought into exact coincidence is the operational test for chirality.

Open the tool

With a molecule already loaded, press Mirror Image. The original and its reflection can then be switched between display modes independently — one may be shown in Space-Filling while the other is in Wireframe, for example.
