Biophotonics is the science of generating and harnessing light to image, detect and manipulate biological materials.

Biophotonics is used in medicine to study tissue and blood at the macro (large-scale) and micro (very small scale) organism level to detect, diagnose and treat diseases in a way that are non-invasive to the body. (Courtesy of NSF Center for Biophotonics Science and Technology)

The LightTouch™ Non-invasive Cervical Cancer Analyzer uses light to detect both physical and chemical changes in tissue that may be markers of cervical disease.
