The MRI takes pictures in the visible light spectrum and provides back-up for the HRI.
Pictures of its disc taken using visible light show a warp, suggestive of a large planet.
X-rays, ultraviolet light and visible light particularly once it has weakened enough to stop emitting gamma rays.
Unlike visible light, which cannot penetrate thick smoke and flames, the IR rays pass through largely unhindered.

This part of the infra-red spectrum, with wavelengths close to that of visible light, carries heat energy.
Only instead of amplifying visible light, it amplifies photons in the X-ray spectrum.
Even something too small to emit visible light will probably give off radio waves and infra-red radiation (Jupiter does).
For generations, microbiologists had known that single-celled bacteria, fungi and algae survive thanks to proteins that respond to visible light.

At each location, telescopic cameras have taken hundreds of thousands of visible light lunar images at intervals of every 20 seconds.
FORBES: Active Moon? Recent Lunar Surface Phenomena May Signal Some Form Of Volcanism
The telescope gathers and focuses electromagnetic radiation (usually, but not always, visible light) to make far-off objects seem brighter and closer.
But recently, it was shown that spiking TiO2 with nitrogen ions gives it photocatalytic capabilities in UV light and visible light.
It's said the process is similar to how a CT scan functions, but uses visible light instead of X-rays.
For visible light, that's just a few hundred billionths of a metre.
These tools span much of the electromagnetic spectrum from X-rays to ultraviolet to the infrared - and of course microscopy with visible light.
I'm looking outside now and that's electromagnetic radiation - visible light.
In visible light, all stars appear as points, only smeared out into a small circle by the atmosphere and by the optics of the telescope.
The near-infrared photoactive polymer absorbs more near-infrared light but is less sensitive to visible light, balancing solar cell performance and transparency in the visible wavelength region.

The astronomers overcame this by using cameras that pick up infra-red rather than visible light (like the thermal imaging cameras used for seeing in the dark).
For years beams of ordinary visible light were more than precise enough to create the tiny transistors and connectors that make up the guts of a chip.
At the moment, it affects visible light but a small amount of tweaking should produce a band gap at a wavelength of 1.5 microns (millionths of a metre).
There is some waste heat caused by inefficiencies within the LED, however, the net result is a big gain in the percentage of electricity converted to visible light.
While red dwarfs are the most common type of star in the Milky Way galaxy, they often do not show up in astronomical surveys because they are too dim in visible light.

In the videos below, various YouTubers demonstrate tricks for enhancing the Sony infrared snooping trick by blocking all visible light with IR filters, or, more craftily, a cutout of an overexposed film negative.
FORBES: Hack Your iPad To See Through Clothes? An April Fool's Prank With A Real Physics Lesson
The UCLA team describes a new kind of polymer solar cell (PSC) that produces energy by absorbing mainly infrared light, not visible light, making the cells nearly 70% transparent to the human eye.

The material is an organic photovoltaic semiconductor (called rr-P3HT) which, unlike the metal or silicon-based materials used until now for such biotechnological interfaces, is soft, light, flexible and highly biocompatible and naturally sensitive to visible light.
The all-carbon formula doesn't need to be thickly spread to do its work, and it simply lets visible light through -- it could layer on top of a traditional solar cell to catch many more of the sun's rays.
When it is ground into nanoparticles it can still block harmful ultraviolet radiation, but it allows visible light to pass straight though, which means modern sunscreens can appear completely transparent, while offering the same protection as the old white stuff.
Subsequent observations with an infra-red telescope, which can see things that are too cool to shine with visible light, showed that it was a very faint star so faint that it is off the bottom of astronomers' scale of stellar classification.
Moreover, the technology could be used in "superlenses" to see details "finer than the wavelength of visible light, " but Dolling is reportedly more interested in studying the effects of his discovery than attempting to build any mystical devices, which is probably for the good of mankind, anyway.
ENGADGET: Researchers develop metamaterial with negative refractive index
The visible light from it was bright enough for George Djorgovski, Mark Metzger and Shri Kulkarni of the California Institute of Technology and their colleagues to analyse, and to demonstrate that it had travelled through a cloud of interstellar gas at least 10 billion light-years from the earth.
