[edit] I

I find the term 'red infrared' a bit misleading and unaccurate. I would rather use 'red + infrared', or, more appropiately, '(a beam) comprised of red and infrared wavelengths'. However I don't dare to edit it (I'm an electronic engineer -- i.e. a layman in medicine). --Biscay 09:42, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I've reworded it to say "a light containing both red and infrared wavelengths". Thanks for mentioning this. --Kyoko 12:07, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kyoko, you did it really fast! Regards --Biscay 11:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome, and please don't be afraid to edit this article even if you don't have a medical background. Wikipedia benefits from having the input of many people with different abilities and areas of interest, and even an extra pair of eyes to spot errors in grammar or phrasing is helpful! --Kyoko 12:35, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
