Class: Instrument

This element describes the instrument used to capture the Image.

It is primarily a container for manufacturer’s model and catalog numbers for the Microscope, LightSource, Detector, Objective and Filters components. The Objective element contains the additional elements LensNA and Magnification. The Filters element can be composed either of separate excitation, emission filters and a dichroic mirror or a single filter set. Within the Image itself, a reference is made to this one Filter element. There may be multiple light sources, detectors, objectives and filters on a microscope. Each of these has their own ID attribute, which can be referred to from Channel. It is understood that the light path configuration can be different for each channel, but cannot be different for each timepoint or each plane of an XYZ stack.
