Abstract
Photobiological responses are the result of chemical and/or physical changes induced in biological systems by nonionizing radiation. The radiation spectrum covered by the discipline photobiology ranges from ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths from 10 to 400 nm to visible light from 400 to 750 nm to the infrared radiation from 750 nm to 300 mm. The research topics in photobiology are very broad: Photobiology at the molecular and cellular level deals with photochemical reactions after the absorption of nonionizing radiation and the following biological responses in cells, e.g., enzymatic repair of UV radiation-induced DNA damage or the induction of the synthesis of photoprotecting compounds. Another research field is the investigation of...
