+## Accessing the instance
+
+[Similar to jQuery UI](http://docs.jquery.com/UI_Developer_Guide#Internal_functions_.26_scopes_explained), Isotope stores a instance containing properties, settings and methods with jQuery.data. You can access the instance with the `'isotope'` namespace.

 ## CSS transforms in Opera
 
 Currently, [using CSS transforms in Opera distorts text rendering](http://dropshado.ws/post/1260101028/opera-transform-issues). To avoid this issue, I recommend disabling Isotope to use transforms.
