visibles

What eyes detect

Visibles are things that can be seen—the visible made countable.

The term appears in economics to distinguish physical goods that cross borders (visibles) from services and other intangible trade (invisibles): The trade deficit in visibles narrowed last quarter.

Outside technical contexts, visibles simply means perceptible things: sorting the visibles from the invisibles.
