Multispectral imaging

Multispectral imaging is a way of taking pictures that uses different types of light, such as infrared and ultraviolet, to see things that our eyes can't. It's like using a special camera that can see things that our eyes can't. For example, if there's something growing in a field, but it's too far away or it's under the ground, multispectral imaging can be used to get a clearer view of what it is. With this technology, scientists and researchers can learn more about plants and animals, and help people find hidden things like water or minerals.
