Abstract

Majorana photons are transmitted through a biological tissue sample to image the tissue. The Majorana photons have a circular polarization, a radial polarization or an azimuthal polarization. The transmitted photons are processed to produce a digital image of the biological tissue sample.

Claims (5)

1. A method for imaging a biological tissue sample, the method comprising:

transmitting Majorana photons through the biological tissue sample, wherein the Majorana photons have a circular polarization, a radial polarization or an azimuthal polarization, thereby producing transmitted Majorana photons;

receiving the transmitted Majorana photons with an optical receiver, thereby producing a received signal;

processing the received signal to produce a digital image of the biological tissue sample.

2. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the biological tissue sample is a brain tissue sample.
