Figure 5-10: R I V U X G
An Infrared Portrait In this image made with a camera sensitive to infrared radiation, the different colors represent regions of different temperature. That this image is made from infrared radiation is indicated by the highlighted I in the wavelength tab. Red areas (like the man’s face) are the warmest and emit the most infrared light, while blue-green areas (including the man’s hands and hair) are at the lowest temperatures and emit the least radiation.
