The mid-ultraviolet is an important diagnostic region due to its sensitivity to the hottest stars of a stellar population. Sources of mid-UV flux include main sequence turn-off stars, the basic clocks of stellar evolution, and also blue horizontal branch stars and blue stragglers. We describe some observed trends in mid-UV colors and spectral indices.
