# Example 1 — continuous

**Source:** ms-imaging.org official "Example Files" (Schramm et al. 2012), via the
`github.com/beny/imzml` mirror (the official page is JS-gated with no stable direct links).
**URL:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/beny/imzml/master/data/
**Reconstructed by:** `scripts/fetch-imzml-examples.sh` (this directory is git-ignored).

Canonical smallest valid imzML file (3×3 pixels), **continuous** mode — a single shared m/z axis
for all pixels. Ideal for fast continuous-path round-trip unit tests.

## Files

| `Example_Continuous.ibd` | 335,976 | binary m/z + intensity sidecar (UUID-linked to the imzML) |
