    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible-light_astronomy

    There are three main types of telescopes used in visible-light astronomy: Refracting telescopes, which use lenses to form the image. Commonly used by amateur astronomers, especially for viewing brighter objects such as the Moon, and planets, due to lower cost and ease of usage. Reflecting telescopes, which use mirrors to form the image ...

    Metamerism on large textile items can be resolved by using different light sources when comparing colors. However, metamerism in smaller items such as textile fibers, is more difficult to be solved. This difficulty arises due to the necessity of a microscope, which has one single illumination source, to observe these small fibers.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_Light_Imaging

    The United States Department of Veterans Affairs was an early adopter of a standardized approach to incorporating visible light images into the electronic medical record [7]. Increasingly, visible light imaging is being deployed beyond individual departments, as part of a trend referred to as Enterprise Imaging [ 8 ] .

  9. Naked eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_eye

    The Triangulum Galaxy (M33) is a difficult averted vision object and only visible at all if it is higher than 50° in the sky. The globular clusters M 3 in Canes Venatici and M 92 in Hercules are also visible with the naked eye under such conditions. Under really dark sky conditions, however, M33 is easy to see, even in direct vision.
