"CDEX is a technology development company that develops and
innovatively applies photoelectric technology to the development of life safety and public safety products for the healthcare, homeland security, and brand protection markets."

Hmmm.... I always thought that CDEX's technology platform was based on fluorescence? At least that's what it says in CDEX's patent applications.

The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from matter upon the absorption of electromagnetic radiation, such as ultraviolet radiation or x-rays.

or..

The photoelectric effect refers to the emission, or ejection, of electrons from the surface of, generally, a metal in response to incident light.

Fluorescence is a luminescence that is mostly found as an optical phenomenon in cold bodies, in which the molecular absorption of a photon triggers the emission of another photon with a longer wavelength.

Oh well an electron or a photon, who cares, I guess "photoelectric" sells better than "flouresence".

There's some very advanced mathematics that shows how an electron can be transform into it's photon equivalent. It's called a Moonie Transformation.

Recently it's found important practical use in investment analysis.
