Special questions about instrument papers

1. Is the instrument really designed to do a significant job better than is being done by existing equipment?

2. Has the superiority of this instrument been adequately documented by appropriate comparisons with other instruments and, in particular, has the applicability and superiority of this instrument been demonstrated by experiments described and documented in this paper?

3. Does the exposition maintain an adequately high density of information of interest to the reader, concentrating only on design principles and those construction details which are crucial to the documented superior performance of the instrument?
