本章描述了探测我们宇宙中第一个黑洞的前景，特别关注将在未来十年内上线的仪器/望远镜，包括SKA，WFIRST，EUCLID，JWST和大型地面设施，如E-ELT，GMT和TMT。本章的重点是：（1）第一代恒星质量黑洞通过其在各种宇宙背景辐射场（包括21 cm和X射线背景辐射）上的印记的间接可探测性：（2）通过“普通”恒星演化以外的通道形成的更大质量黑洞（M_BH ~ 1 e 4 - 1 e 6 M_sun）的线辐射和连续辐射的直接可探测性。
英文摘要：
This chapter describes the prospects for detecting the first black holes in our Universe, with a specific focus on instruments/telescopes that will come online within the next decade, including e.g. the SKA, WFIRST, EUCLID, JWST, and large ground-based facilities such as E-ELTs, GMT and TMT. This chapter focusses on: (1) the indirect detectability of the first generations of stellar mass black holes through their imprint on various Cosmic Background Radiation fields including the 21-cm and X-ray backgrounds; (2) direct detectability of line and continuum emission by more massive black holes (M_BH ~ 1e4-1e6 M_sun) that formed via channels other than `ordinary' stellar evolution.
