The vibrational states of a molecule can be probed in a variety of ways. The most direct way is infra-red spectroscopy because vibrational transitions typically require an amount of energy that corresponds to the infrared region of the spectrum. However, Raman spectroscopy and Electron energy loss spectroscopy also provide vibrational information.
