Rings in False Color
The 9 main rings of are visible here as horizontal lines. The somewhat fainter, pastel lines seen between the rings are artifacts of computer enhancement.
False Colors
Astronomical images are constructed from digital data collected by a variety of electronic sensors. Most of these operate in parts of the spectrum outside of the range of human vision.
False Color
The use of colors, instead of shades of grey, on a computer image display screen to represent different brightness levels and highlight very small differences in a dramatic way.
False color: A technique scientists use to help them see details in images of objects. The colors the scientist picks for his or her image may have nothing to do with the color of the object.

False colors have been used to represent the intensity of X-ray emission. The large area of X-ray emission, just below and left of center, is about 1 million light-years across.
A lens with two or three closely-spaced, often cemented, elements designed to produce images largely free from false color.
Images taken partly or exclusively with non-visible wavelengths are shown on the SOHO page and elsewhere in false color.
False colors are used to indicate the intensity of the radio emission at different locations. An example is shown below for Jupiter.

Aberration, Chromatic
An aberration of a lens in which light of different colors is not brought to the same focus point. This causes false colors and fringing in the image. See also ACHROMAT.
