Simultaneous XUV and microwave (μѡ) observations of a solar filament, performed by several instruments onboard SOHO and by the Very Large Array (VLA), are analyzed. The filament appears as a dark structure, very similar in shape to the optical Hα filament, in all images taken in the transition region (TR) lines observed by CDS, in the Ne VIII lines observed by SUMER at λ = 770Å and 780Å and at all radio wavelengths with 1.7 cmλ ≤ 6 cm. Contrary to that, in six TR lines observed by SUMER at λ > 1300Å no trace of the filament, either in absorption or in emission, is visible. Finally, at λ = 21 cm, as well as in all images taken in coronal lines by CDS and EIT, a dark feature is present at the filament position, although with less defined contours than in the first-mentioned TR images. The constraints imposed by all these observations are discussed and interpreted.
