Abstract

The correlation of molecular events with structural changes within a cell requires a non-destructive relaxation technique that can be adapted to measure such cellular changes in a time range of milliseconds to minutes. Light scattering relaxation techniques have proved useful for such studies as they can often le measured simultaneously or in parallel with spectral changes characterizing molecular or macromolecular processes. Such techniques are proving useful in the study of photobiological processes particularly in cases where specific cytological changes produced photo chemically can be effected by alternate controlled perturbations such as osmotic shrinking or swelling of cell organelles and/or whole cells.
