Many optical telescopes, such as those at Keck Observatory, operate effectively in the near infrared as well as at visible wavelengths. Related snippets Related snippets (backlinks) Optical radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is subdivided into ultraviolet radiation (UV), the spectrum of light visible for man (VIS) and infrared radiation (IR). It ranges between wavelengths of 100 nm to 1 mm [DISPUTED] For this reason, the near infrared region of the spectrum is commonly incorporated as part of the "optical" spectrum, along with the near ultraviolet.
