Miniaturisation was a techonology used to shrink inorganic or organic matter.

It could be performed on humanoids, under the rays of a dimensional stabiliser from a TARDIS, without causing harm. (TV: The Invisible Enemy, The Armageddon Factor)

In 1964, in England, the First Doctor and his companions Ian and Barbara experienced a miniaturisation, solved by the TARDIS. (TV: Planet of Giants)

In 1966, the faceless Chameleons miniaturised and stored young Earthlings from all over Europe; their purpose was to steal their identities, lost after a catastrophe on their planet. Planes were used as miniaturisation chambers. (TV: The Faceless Ones)

During the 57th Segment of Time, on the Ark, most of the Earth population, fleeing from their home, had been miniaturised and placed in suspended animation in order to face a 700 years journey towards Refusis II. A Minifier was the instrument geared for this purpose. Miniaturisation was administered as a sanction too. (TV: The Ark)

The Teselecta used a miniaturisation ray to shrink people and a compression field to keep its crew shrunk. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)

The crew of the Aristotle used a molecular nanoscaler to shrink the Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald to enter inside "Rusty", a malfunctioning Dalek. (TV: Into the Dalek)

Similar technologies

The Master employed the technique of matter condensation with fatal outcomes, through the Tissue Compression Eliminator. (TV: Terror of the Autons, The Deadly Assassin et. al.) In one occasion, the TCE accidentally shrank the Master himself, without killing him; the effect was neutralised by exposure to Numismaton Gas. (TV: Planet of Fire)
