## Chapter 3
Assembling infrared mosaics

VIPS has a package of functions designed to help join many small images together to make a single large image. They were originally designed to assemble infrared reflectograms but are general enough to be useful for other sorts of image as well, such as X-rays.

This chapter first introduces the mechanics of infrared imaging then explains how to use nip2 to assemble the images you grab. Finally, it suggests some printing techniques.
