3.3.3.108. NXimage_set_em_adf

Status:

base class (contribution), extends NXobject

Description:

Container for reporting a set of annular dark field images. ...

Container for reporting a set of annular dark field images.

Virtually the most important case is that spectra are collected in a scanning microscope (SEM or STEM) for a collection of points. The majority of cases use simple d-dimensional regular scan pattern, such as single point, line profiles, or (rectangular) surface mappings. The latter pattern is the most frequently used.

For now the base class provides for scans for which the settings, binning, and energy resolution is the same for each scan point.

Symbols:

n_images: Number of images in the stack.

n_y: Number of pixel per image in the slow direction.

n_x: Number of pixel per image in the fast direction.
