[ome-users] Assign Instrument

[Olivier Renaud]

Dear all,

I come back to you because I didn't get any answer to two of my  
questions in a previous email.
My question concern the way to assign the same Instrument, Objective  
etc... to a serie of images. Now, I have to do it individually for  
each picture. The way I am working with OME is the following. I  
acquire stacks of pictures with my favorite microscope (in general  
acquisition is for half a day). I am acquiring a lot of data. Then, I  
import these data to OME. But it's really important to attach to each  
dataset the way I did the acquisition (microscope type, objective  
etc). In general all the data that I acquired during one session has  
been taken using the same Instrument (most of the time the same  
objective too). So it would be very usefull to be able to assign the  
same Instrument to several dataset (without doing it individually).  
Is it actually possible? Do you plan to develop this?

My second question is: Is there any way to add information to an  
Instrument after the creation? When I create an Instrument I have to  
fill a form (magnification, NA etc), but sometimes I don't have all  
the information right now. So I would like to call back the  
instrument and fill the missing information (for example the Serial  
Number). Is it possible?

Thanks,

Olivier
