The Fischer convention

The Fischer convention. The enantiomers of glyceraldehyde are shown as geometric formulas (top) and as Fischer projections (bottom). In a Fischer projection, horizontal lines represent bonds that extend above the page and vertical lines represent bonds that extend below the page (in some Fischer projections, the central chiral carbon atom is not shown explicitly).
