Action spectroscopy in biology
Björn, Lars Olof LU
(2008)
p.139-154
- Abstract
- Action spectroscopy is a method for identifying the light-absorbing chromophore in a photobiological or biochemical process by comparing the efficiency of radiation of different wavelengths in driving the process. This chapter explains the principle and gives several ex-amples from the history of biology of what has been achieved using this technique.
