Description: The eye is made up of different structures that allow it to receive light from the different objects that form our world. Detectors at the back of the eye (retina) sense the light and convert it into an electrical signal which is sent to the brain. The brain interprets the different colors and intensities of lights and puts them together as an image.

Description: There are things that you cannot see because your eyes only detect the light that comes from objects in the specific range of colors that are part of visible light. However there are some materials in our world are fluorescent. When you shine a black light upon them then they will glow back a bright color that was not there before.

Description: Biophotonics is an exciting field that utilizes light to image, detect and cure disease plus help us learn about basic biological processes. The field is possible because of the way in which different forms of light interact differently with living tissues. Instruments like pulse oxymeters can shine light through your finger and figure out how oxygenated your blood is! Other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum can tell you different types of information. Fluorescence is also a very popular technique for labeling components of cells to better understand how they function. This handout helps explain the basic concepts in straightforward language.
