Seeing what is invisible

Our eyes see the world in visible light. But this light is only a small part of the entire range of possibilities in the electromagnetic spectrum; by far the greatest part is invisible to our eyes. The radiance in these other parts of the spectrum always provides additional, not conventionally "visible" information. Using the infrared part of the spectrum lets us see with other eyes and thereby understand more of the world, since many objects normally invisible for us thereby become "visible".
