No symbol table

Groups cited:

none

Structure:

camera_length: (optional) NX_NUMBER {units=NX_LENGTH}

Citing the JEOL TEM glossary this is an effective distance from a specimen to a plane where an observed diffraction pattern is formed.

magnification: (optional) NX_NUMBER {units=NX_DIMENSIONLESS}

The factor of enlargement of the apparent size, not physical size, of an object.

defocus: (optional) NX_NUMBER {units=NX_LENGTH}

The defocus aberration constant oftentimes taken as the C_1_0 which is described in more details in NXaberration.

semi_convergence_angle: (optional) NX_NUMBER {units=NX_ANGLE}

Citing the JEOL TEM glosssary this is the value when a cone shaped, convergent electron beam illuminates a specimen, the semi-angle of the cone is termed convergence angle.

field_of_view: (optional) NX_NUMBER {units=NX_LENGTH}

The extent of the observable parts of the specimen given the current magnification and other settings of the instrument.

working_distance: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}

Citing Globalsino this is a distance between the specimen and the lower pole piece in SEM system.

beam_current: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_CURRENT}

Beam current as measured relevant for the illumination of the specimen. Users should specify further details like how the beam current was measured using the beam_current_description field.

beam_current_description: (optional) NX_CHAR

Specify further details how the beam current was measured or estimated.
