*Experimental geometry used in NXRefine.*

The Φ-axis is approximately perpendicular to the beam. The Φ-axis motor
is on a χ-circle, with χ = 0° corresponding to a vertical axis of
rotation. The figure shows a configuration, in which χ = -90°. The
orientation of the Φ-axis can also be adjusted in the horizontal plane
by ω and in the vertical plane by θ.
The sample is at the center of a χ-circle, which can be rotated about
the horizontal or vertical axes by θ or ω, respectively. When θ = ω = 0,
the χ-circle is perpendicular to the incident beam. During a scan, the
sample is rotated about the Φ-axis, which is vertical when χ = θ = 0.
The figure shows a configuration, in which the Φ-axis is horizontal,
with θ = ω = 0 and χ = -90°. The dotted lines show the orientation of
the Φ-axis with ω = ±15°.

.. note:: This geometry is equivalent to the four-circle geometry
defined by H. You [see Fig. 1 in J. Appl. Cryst. **32**, 614
