Abstract
We review the formation of infrared solar spectral lines from highly excited levels in neutral atoms. The lines of Mg I and H I are the most interesting ones. We explain the NLTE processes by which they are affected and we study the sensitivity of the Mg I 12 μm lines to granulation and to flux tubes.
