Sample preparation

Virtually all experiments require a preparation of the sample. As most techniques are surface-sensitive or probe exclusively the surface, the use of careful preparation techniques is the key to successful experiments. Unfortunately, the quality of such processes is often difficult to reproduce. Nevertheless, documenting how samples are prepared is relevant. The classes here provide minimal examples how descriptions of the sample preparation steps can be interfaced to NeXus. Currently, we consider these drafts to work towards harmonization with the specific examples developed by the team of area A of FAIRmat.
