A diver-operated hyperspectral imaging and topographic surveying system for automated mapping of benthic habitats

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
We developed a novel integrated technology for diver-operated surveying of shallow marine ecosystems. The HyperDiver system captures rich multifaceted data in each transect: hyperspectral and color imagery, topographic profiles, incident irradiance and ...

Light intensity defines growth and photopigment content of a mixed culture of purple phototrophic bacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Purple bacteria (PPB), anoxygenic photoorganoheterotrophic organisms with a hyper-versatile metabolism and high biomass yields over substrate, are promising candidates for the recovery of nutrient resources from wastewater.

A flexible arched artificial photoreceptor constructed by photodeformable liquid crystal polymers and its application in vision restoration

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
A flexible arched artificial photoreceptor with high stability and biocompatibility was fabricated by integrating liquid crystal polymers with polyvinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene. This device exhibits robust photoelectric responses under low‐intensity illumination and demonstrates efficacy in restoring visual responses in blind rats following ...

The oscillatory response of the electroretinogram and neuronal adaptation

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract After more than 50 years, there still remains a challenge and an interest to know more as well as extend and deepen our understanding of the small rapid wavelets, the oscillatory potentials (OPs), of the electroretinogram (ERG) and the neuronal adaptation of the retina.

Unexpected diversity and photoperiod dependence of the zebrafish melanopsin system.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Animals have evolved specialized photoreceptors in the retina and in extraocular tissues that allow them to measure light changes in their environment.

Colour Vision Revisited

open access: yesDelhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2014
Congenital red-green colour deficiency is an X-linked inherited disorder more frequently encountered in males compared to females. Screening of coour deficiency is crucial in various occupations, at times to safeguard colour deficient individual as well ...

Blue Light Exposure During Sleep in Type 1 Diabetes: Impacts on Glycemic Control and Psychosocial Health

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Light exposure at night is linked to increased risk for obesity and insulin resistance in the general population. While sleep health is recognized as a key component of diabetes management, there has been less emphasis on nighttime light exposure. This study aimed to investigate the effects of blue and white light exposure immediately prior to

Exquisite light sensitivity of Drosophila melanogaster cryptochrome. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
Drosophila melanogaster shows exquisite light sensitivity for modulation of circadian functions in vivo, yet the activities of the Drosophila circadian photopigment cryptochrome (CRY) have only been observed at high light levels.

Circadian regulation of reproduction and neoblast cell division in the catenulid flatworm Stenostomum virginianum (Platyhelminthes)

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The circadian clock and melatonin coordinate homeostasis in many animals, yet their influence on reproduction and neoblast proliferation has only been shown in triclads. This study demonstrates that the early‐branching catenulid Stenostomum virginianum contains photoreceptive refractile bodies, synthesizes endogenous melatonin, and that exogenous ...
