    Summary: In this article, we have an explicit description of the binary isosahedral group as a 600-cell. We introduce a method to construct binary polyhedral groups as a subset of quaternions \(\mathbb{H}\) via spin map of \(\mathrm{SO}(3)\). In addition, we show that the binary icosahedral group in \(\mathbb{H}\) is the set of vertices of a 600-cell by applying the Coxeter-Dynkin diagram of \(H_4\).
