Italiano: Cristalli di cromo ultrapuro (99.999%) - ottenuti per reazione di trasporto chimico tramite decomposizione di ioduro di cromo - accostati, per confronto, ad un cubo di cromo levigato, puro (99,95% = 3N5), di 1 cm³. Polski: Kryształy chromu o czystości 99,999 % = 5N wytworzone metodą reakcji transportu chemicznego przez rozkład jodku chromu oraz sześcian wykonany z chromu o czystości 99,95 % = 3N5. Українська: Кристали чистого (99,999%) хрому, отриманого розкладанням йодиду хрому. Для порівняння приведений кубик надчистого (99,95% = 3N5) хрому об'ємом в 1 см³. Русский: Кристаллы (99,999%) хрома различной формы, полученные разложением йодида хрома. Для сравнения показан куб чистого (99,95% = 3N5) хрома объемом 1 см³.
