Optical Imaging

Optical Imaging is a scientific technique within the field of photonics that uses light to generate high-resolution visual representations of biological structures and processes by exploiting the interaction of photons with tissues, distinguishing it from other imaging modalities through its reliance on optical wavelengths and non-ionizing radiation.
