**Status**:

  base class, extends :ref:`NXobject`

**Description**:

  .. collapse:: Base class to describe specific analysis methods in electron microscopy. ...

      Base class to describe specific analysis methods in electron microscopy.

      This base class represent a template how specialized, deep, and method-specific
      base classes can be defined with which an (NXem) application
      definition gets equipped with specific groups to document method-specific
      processing steps and report analyzed quantities.

      The template base class name :ref:`NXem_method` needs to be changed for each
      method e.g. :ref:`NXem_adf`, :ref:`NXem_ebsd`, :ref:`NXem_eels`, :ref:`NXem_eds`.

**Symbols**:
