These diastereomers and enantiomers can be interactively compared with your mouse.

The mirror image of the meso isomer will superimpose on the original.

Enantiomer1. Enantiomer2.

Enantiomer1 and Enantiomer2, however, are mirror images that will not superimpose. These two enantiomers are diastereomers to the meso isomer.
