NXlens_apm

Status:

base class, extends NXobject

Description:

Draft class definition for a component of an atom probe instrument which details an eventually available reflectron device whose purpose is to deflect the flight paths of the ions to realize what is effectively an energy compensation.

Symbols:

No symbol table

Groups cited:

NXtransformations

Structure:

has_reflectron: (optional) NX_BOOLEAN

Specifier if the instrument has a reflectron (true) or not (false).

name: (optional) NX_CHAR

Given name.

model: (optional) NX_CHAR

Given brand or model name by the manufacturer.

serial_number: (optional) NX_CHAR

Given hardware name/serial number or hash identifier issued by the manufacturer.

manufacturer_name: (optional) NX_CHAR

Given name of the manufacturer.

description: (optional) NX_CHAR

Free-text field to specify further details about the reflectron.

TRANSFORMATIONS: (optional) NXtransformations

Affine transformation(s) which detail where the reflectron is located relative to e.g. the origin of the specimen space reference coordinate system. This group can also be used for specifying how the reflectron is rotated to the specimen axis. The purpose of these more detailed instrument descriptions is to support the creation of a digital twin of the instrument for computational science.
