David this gives me one hell of an idea. We could *make* such an
instrument, that could be worn on a helmet or something. We already
have instruments that let us see an octave or so lower frequency than
visible (night vision goggles) but i see no reason why we couldnt do
the same trick with the next octave higher than visible. CCDs can
be tuned to pretty much any frequency range, within limits. Put visible
light filters on them, allow near UV. Sell them as aura-vision goggles.
Halo viewing helmets. Clothing penetrating glasses. We could make
enough money to get us *all* frozen. {8^D spike
