- Method Detail
  - getId
```
@DocumentId
public Long getId()
```
    The DB unique identifier for this object. You are not responsible for setting the id; however, it can be useful for creating "unloaded" versions of your objects. Each top-level entity contains an id field of type long. For all objects returned from the server, this value will be non-null, which doesn't necessarily hold for the other fields.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getId in interface IObject
    
    Returns:
    
    Long primary key. May be null.
  - setId
```
public void setId(Long id)
```
    Description copied from interface: IObject
    
    usually unneeded. Ids are managed by the backend.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setId in interface IObject
    
    Parameters:
    
    id - Long value for this id.
  - getVersion
```
public Integer getVersion()
```
    This version number is controlled by the database for optimisitic locking.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getVersion in interface IMutable
  - setVersion
```
public void setVersion(Integer version)
```
    Description copied from interface: IMutable
    
    use with caution. In general, the version should only be altered by the backend. In the best case, an exception will be thrown for a version not equal to the current DB value. In the worst (though rare) case, the new version could match the database, and override optimistic lock checks that are supposed to prevent data loss.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setVersion in interface IMutable
    
    Parameters:
    
    version - Value for this objects version.
  - getMicroscope
```
public Microscope getMicroscope()
```
    Many-to-one field ome.model.acquisition.Instrument.microscope (ome.model.acquisition.Microscope)
  - setMicroscope
```
public void setMicroscope(Microscope microscope)
```
  - getDetector
```
protected Set<Detector> getDetector()
```
    returns detector . You should not modify this collection unless you know what you are doing. Use the iterate method instead. one-to-many Set ome.model.acquisition.Instrument.detector (ome.model.acquisition.Detector)
  - setDetector
```
protected void setDetector(Set<Detector> detector)
```
    setter for detector should be avoided. Does not fulfill normal semantics.
  - sizeOfDetector
```
public int sizeOfDetector()
```
    returns the size of detector. If less than zero, the Set was null.
  - iterateDetector
```
public Iterator<Detector> iterateDetector()
```
    should be used rather than accessing the detector set directly. This method will never return null, but rather will return an instance of EmptyIterator. To test for a null collection, see of sizeOfDetector() is less than zero.
  - unmodifiableDetector
```
public Collection<Detector> unmodifiableDetector()
```
    Returns an unmodifiable collection-view
  - collectDetector
```
public <E> List<E> collectDetector(CBlock<E> block)
```
    takes a CBlock and calls the block once for each ome.model.acquisition.Detector while collecting the results. If block == null, then the iterator values themselves are collected. This method uses iterateDetector() internally and so will return a value even if the underlying collection is null.
  - addDetector
```
public void addDetector(Detector target)
```
    use instead of setDetector . Makes the necessary call on ome.model.acquisition.Detector as well.
  - addDetectorSet
```

  - linkedAnnotationIterator

    If fetched, returns the count(*) of ome.model.annotations.InstrumentAnnotationLink that a user has. If unfetched, returns null. No entries in the collection should be null.
  - getDetails
```
public Details getDetails()
```
    The details of this object correspond to low-level system information. Owner, permissions, Details is always guaranteed to be non-null, unless the user actively nulls it. Every entity also contains a Detail reference, which doesn't refer to a separate table but rather to a collection of fields collected into a Hibernate "component" which is embedded in the object. HQL queries which refer to the Details component cannot directly fetch the entity like this: select o from Object join fetch o.details but rather each field of the Details instance must be explicitly joined: select o from Object join fetch o.details.owner It should also be noted that not all types have all the fields which are present on Details. For example, select e from Experimenter e join fetch e.details.owner will fail. Experimenter has no owner, for obvious reasons. Note: subclasses of this class will return a subclasse of the Details type.
    
    Specified by:
