Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ aligning figures and text inside a table cell

Hi all,
I need to align the figures in one column and text to the near by columns of a table to the appropriate cell centers. I face a problem in aligning my figures to the cell center and also the text are not aligned to the appropriate cell centers. Please refer the (alignment_query.pdf) for more details.

\begin{table}[ht]
 \centering
 \begin{tabular}{|c||p{1.5in}|c|c|c|}
 \hline 
 Unit cell & Lattice & Glide Planes & Glide directions & Glide system \\
 \hline 
 \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{./fig/ch2-fig6.jpg} & bcc(Li, Cr, Nb, Mo, \alpha-Fe, \beta-Ti) & (111)             & [101]                 & 4*3 = 12\\
 \hline 
 \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{./fig/ch2-fig7.jpg} & fcc(Al, Ni, Cu, Ag, Pt, Pb, \alpha-Fe)   & (101) (112) (123) & [111]                 & 6*2 = 12 \\
 \hline 
 \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{./fig/ch2-fig8.jpg} & hcp(Be, mg, Co, Zr,\alpha-Ti)            & basal planes      & 
 principle axes & 1*3=3 \\
 \hline 
 \end{tabular}

\begin{longtable}{|A|c|c|}\hline
\fbox{\includegraphics[height=4.5cm]{sample}} & sample.eps 					& something\\\hline
\rule{4cm}{4cm} 															& rule of 4cm by 4cm 	& something \\\hline
\end{longtable}
