And infra-red - good for checking that the batteries in your remote aren't dead...

Another interesting factoid. People who have had their lenses removed (or have e.g. Aphakia) can sometimes see in the ultra-violet (depending on the properties of any replacement lens). Not seeing in the ultra violet is considered a design advantage because ultra-violet and living tissue do not good bed fellows make, and seeing UV may also exacerbate the effects of chromatic aberration. Digital cameras often can see some UV though.

Interesting factoid... It's been shown that Colour-blindness can be an attribute on the battlefield - moral of the story, don't let someone with perfect colour vision design your camouflage...Originally posted by dang65 View PostI walked past this place this morning. Global Color Research. I clocked the sign, thought to myself, "I wonder what they do", and then glanced down at a basement window where I could see a big screen with a sort of blue cloud on it. Hmm, researching blue this week then, I thought. I wonder if they have the equivalent of those perfume blenders who have a perfect sense of smell - people with brilliant eyesight and colour detection skills who can blend new colours to order. I'll pop in and ask next time I go past.
