Synopsis

This work takes readers on a visual tour of the electromagnetic spectrum beyond the range of human sight, using imaging technology as the means to see invisible light. It explains the light spectrum - from gamma rays to the longest radio waves, and including visible light - and the technologies that create images from the spectrum. Applications ranging from fire fighting and law enforcement to botany and medicine are discussed in detail.
