A recently initiated undergraduate course in photobiology includes laboratory work on light transmittance through biological media, quantum yield calculation, photosensitization, photosynthesis, vision, determination of absorption and action spectra, circadian rhythms, bioluminescence, and other selected topics. The equipment includes a spectrophotometer for determining absorption spectra and performing multicomponent analysis, UV and visible light sources and a helium-neon laser for illuminating samples, a monochromator and an array of filters for selecting specific wavelengths of illumination, and radiometers for measuring light intensity.

最近开设的光生物学本科课程包括光通过生物介质的透射率、量子产额计算、光敏化、光合作用、视觉、吸收光谱和作用光谱的测定、昼夜节律、生物发光和其他选定主题的实验室工作。该设备包括用于确定吸收光谱和进行多组分分析的分光光度计、用于照亮样品的紫外线和可见光光源和氦-霓虹灯激光器、用于选择特定照明波长的单色仪和滤光片阵列、以及用于测量光强度的辐射计。
