Imaging is the process of creating visual representations of objects, scenes or phenomena. The cited article says the term encompasses both the formation of images through physical processes and the technologies used to capture, store, process and display them, and that while traditional imaging relies on visible light, modern imaging systems can visualize information across the electromagnetic spectrum and through other physical phenomena such as sound waves, magnetic fields and particle emissions. Instruments recorded in the atlas as imaging instruments are grouped under this concept.

Entity-backed identity for the instrument-class enum value this instrument already carries, resolved to a science concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The instrument-class fact itself stays on the instrument unchanged.
