Base class for a corrector reducing (spherical) aberrations in electron microscopy.
Different technology partners use different naming schemes and models for quantifying the aberration coefficients.
The corrector in an electron microscope is composed of multiple lenses and multipole stigmators with details specific for the technology partner and microscope. Many of their technical details is proprietary knowledge.
If functionalities for correcting multiple aberrations are included in one NXcomponent like it is reported here use multiple groups:
NXcorrector_cs for spherical aberration
NXmonochromator for energy filtering or chromatic aberration
corrector_ax in NXem for axial astigmatism correction
Symbols:
The symbols used in the schema to specify e.g. dimensions of arrays.
n_img: Number of images taken, at least one.

Specific information about the alignment procedure that is a process during which the corrector is configured to enable calibrated usage of the instrument.
This NXprocess group should also be used when one describes in a computer simulation the specific details about the modelled or assumed aberration corrections.

See S. J. Pennycock and P. D. Nellist (page 44ff, and page 118ff) for different definitions available and further details. Table 7-2 of Ibid. publication (page 305ff) documents how to convert from the Nion to the CEOS definitions. Conversion tables are also summarized by Y. Liao.
