The interstellar plasma accreted by isolated black holes should be heated during the infall process and radiate in the magnetic fields connected with the infalling material. A portion of the radiation in the optical range is likely to have a luminosity of order 1027–1030 erg s-1. In SAO U.S.S.R. AS an experiment is being carried out to observe isolated black holes as faint optical stars without spectral lines. So far the results of the experiment are negative.
