Photon-based techniques

Photon-based techniques utilize light particles, called photons, to analyze or manipulate materials and biological systems. These methods include processes like microscopy, spectroscopy, and quantum optics, which detect or control photons to gather information about structures, composition, or behaviors at very small scales. By measuring how photons interact with objects—reflecting, transmitting, or changing—they provide detailed insights without physical contact, often with high precision and sensitivity. These techniques are foundational in scientific research, medical imaging, cybersecurity, and telecommunications, enabling advancements in understanding phenomena and developing innovative technologies.
