Note that only the total electron density is shown for each orbital, i.e., the phases for each orbital are not shown.
dxy
x-axis = yellow Note that the electron density (1) lies in the plane defined by the x and y axes, and (2) lies between the x and y axes.

dxz
x-axis = yellow Note that the electron density (1) lies in the plane defined by the x and z axes, and (2) lies between the x and z axes.

dyz
x-axis = yellow Note that the electron density (1) lies in the plane defined by the y and z axes, and (2) lies between the y and z axes.

dx2-y2
x-axis = yellow Note that the electron density (1) lies in the plane defined by the x and y axes, and (2) lies directly along the x and y axes.

dz2
x-axis = yellow Note that the electron density lies directly along the z axis.
