2.3.3.1.64. NXebeam_column¶
Status:
base class, extends NXcomponent
Description:
Base class for a set of components providing a controllable electron beam. ...
Base class for a set of components providing a controllable electron beam.
The idea behind defining NXebeam_column as an own base class vs. adding these concepts in NXem_instrument is that the electron beam generating component might be worthwhile to use also in other types of experiments.

Tech-partner, microscope-, and control-software-specific name of the ...
Tech-partner, microscope-, and control-software-specific name of the specific operation mode how the ebeam_column and its components are controlled to achieve specific illumination conditions.
In many cases the users of an instrument do not or can not be expected to know all intricate spatiotemporal dynamics of their hardware. Instead, they rely on assumptions that the instrument, its control software, and components work as expected to focus on their research questions.
For these cases, having a place for documenting the operation_mode is useful in as much as at least some constraints on how the illumination conditions were is documented.
