New Magellanic Cloud Interstellar Matters

Abstract

Novel instrumentation has always led to new insights in the nature of the universe. Novel astronomical instrumentation is no exception. In numerous areas new instruments led to the detection of hitherto unknown phenomena. I will review some notable studies of the recent past with some emphasis on those dicoveries not extensively covered by others at this conference. Finally, very recent work based on ORFEUS echelle spectra is presented.
