UVOIR

(UV, optical, and infrared)
(a spectral "band name" covering UV, visible light, and IR)

The term UVOIR (for UV, optical, and infrared) indicates ultraviolet, visible light and infrared and is used to describe astronomy and telescopes that observe any or all of the three. The mirrors of visible light telescopes generally can focus considerable ultraviolet and infrared light and using UV- and IR-sensitive instruments, they can generally do some work in all three bands.
