A microcomputer is sufficient to calculate and display approximate equipotential surfaces in ionic crystals. It is necessary and, as could be shown, justified to consider only a few Fourier terms. Equipotential surfaces are helpful, for example, in understanding the principles of construction of ionic crystals and the role of electrostatic effects in protein structure.
