Where biophotonics is used?

Despite numerous differences between the two research methods their main work processes are very similar. Both of them detect spectral fingerprints of unknown substances and compare them with databases. Both spectroscopy methods measure the level of interaction of energy with molecular bonds, However, the methods are not completely the same. FTIR measures how much light energy remains from the source, while Raman measures scatted energy from the laser.

It is a method of combination of fluorescence microscopy and a femtosecond laser used to target cells in 3 dimensions. The primary aim of using this technology is the completion of precise surgical operations without damage ging healthy cells. The main field of use is ophthalmology and phoniatrics.

Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by living organisms. It occurs in organisms such as fish in the deep ocean, jellyfish in the shallows, and fungi and fireflies. They can produce light from the chemical reaction between enzymes luciferase and luciferin or by hosting light-emitting bacteria. The study of bioluminescence has research potential in immunology and neurodegenerative diseases by allowing them to interact. Moreover, using bioluminescence will enable us to research the living brain by separating signals from 2 different nerves based on coloring.
