Observation

Mirconium
in Quantum Theory

What constitutes observation in Quantum mechanics?

 

For instance, does the capture and measurement of the byproducts of decay count as observing the original particle? Can virtual particles observe an object? Ie, if a particle passes through a field is it observed? What if its field influence is measured?

 

Thanks
