Hi Takaaki

The easy way, since the headers of CBF images are plain ASCII, is to check your 
image with a text viewer (e.g. "more" or "less" on the command-line). This will 
also work for ADSC "SMV" format, Rigaku "d*Trek" format, Bruker "86" & "100" 
formats, but not for Rigaku "original R-Axis" format, Agilent "Oxford" format, 
or for MarIP or Rayonix CCD.

Or you could use Mosflm or iMosflm, since these read the information and print 
out most of the useful stuff.
