Lethal effects of short-wavelength visible light on insects
We investigated the lethal effects of visible light on insects by using light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The toxic effects of ultraviolet (UV) light, particularly shortwave (i.e., UVB and UVC) light, on organisms are well known. However, the effects of irradiation with visible light remain unclear, although shorter wavelengths are known to be more lethal. Irradiation with visible light is not thou...
متن کاملBlocking Short-Wavelength Component of the Visible Light Emitted by Smartphones’ Screens Improves Human Sleep Quality
Background: It has been shown that short-wavelength blue component of the visible light spectrum can alter the circadian rhythm and suppress the level of melatonin hormone. The short-wavelength light emitted by smartphones’ screens can affect the sleep quality of the people who use these devices at night through suppression of melatonin.Objectives: In this study, we examined the effects of co...
متن کاملEffects of Visible Light on the Development of Mouse 2-Cell Embryos
Introduction: Mammalian embryos as well as oocytes are prone to various doses of visible light during manipulations in laboratory. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of visible light on the development of mouse 2- cell embryos. Method: Non-pregnant female NMRI mice were super-ovulated with i.p. injection of 7.5 iu PMSG followed 48 hours later with 10 iu hCG. Forty eight h...
متن کاملEffect of Short-wavelength Light on Plant Physiology
Light is one of the most important environmental factors, acting on plants not only as the sole source of energy, but also as the source of external information, affecting their growth and development. Plants are empowered with an array of photoreceptors controlling diverse responses to light parameters, such as spectrum, intensity, direction, duration etc. These photoreceptors include the red ...
متن کاملHuman short-wavelength-sensitive cone light adaptation.
The cone-driven visual system is able to regulate its sensitivity effectively from twilight to bright sunlight. On the basis of a novel combination of short-wavelength-sensitive (S-) cone measurements of temporal sensitivity and temporal delay, we show that S-cone light adaptation is achieved not only by trading unwanted sensitivity for speed but also by an additional process that counterintuit...
