Category em_entity_assembly

Category Description

    The EM_ENTITY_ASSEMBLY category defines a hierarchy-independent 
     list of assemblies relevant to the EM experiment.
     
     The recommended convention is that the imaged assembly, defined 
     in the category EM_ASSEMBLY, is listed first.
 
     Components, arrays and superstructures of the assembly  
     are also described. 
   
     The hierarchy independence enables descriptions of
     symmetry, sample preparation, particle selection, and map masks
     at multiple levels.
