... Instruments are more complicated than star catalogs, but a MIDAS table file is still useful for holding the description of an instrument. ... The main sub-table contains information about the passbands used, and the second sub-table describes the detector(s). ... Basic data for an instrument file include the passbands used (and any coding that is used to represent them in the data); the detectors used, and their properties; and general information about temperature control and optical cleanliness. ...

. This diagram illustrates how anonymous block boxes may spring into existence around anonymous content. It shows two rectangular boxes that contain text, the first being anonymous. It has a light grey background and contains the words "Some text". Just below it is a P box with a dark grey background that contains the words "More text". The boxes are both within a DIV box.
