Notes & Legend:

NOTE: Recent measurements show that there is some structures in the dark-current. The variations are at a level of 3 e-/pix/1000s

1: Pixels have very slightly different dimensions in the horizontal and vertical directions.
2: Strehl equivalent width (Sørensen, A. N., 1998, CUO report).
TBM = To Be Measured
