Columns

Column MySQL Type Oracle Type Nullable Description
WID BIGINT NUMBER No Warehouse idetification number for this light source
Wavelength FLOAT NUMBER Yes Wavelength of the light emitted, in nanometers
Type VARCHAR VARCHAR2(100) Yes Enumeration. Specifies the type of light source (arc lamp, a particular laser, etc.).

Enumerated Values:
arc-lamp - A type of light source
argon-laser - An ion laser that uses argon gas to produce light
krypton-laser - An ion laser that uses krypton gas to produce light
argon-krypton-laser - An ion laser that uses a combination of krypton and argon gases to produce light
helium-neon-laser - A laser that uses helium and neon gases to produce light
InstrumentWID BIGINT NUMBER Yes WID of the object representing the instrument producing the light. For a flow cytometry experiment, this is typically a reference to a Parameterizable row defining the cytometry instrument used. This instrument is instantiated as a ParameterizableApplication row, and has an associated ExperimentData row that defines the compensation parameter.
