Photobiology is the study of the effects of light on living organisms. The field encompasses many biological phenomena, including photosynthesis, visual processing, circadian rhythms, and ultraviolet radiation effects. There are numerous professional societies devoted to the study of photobiology, the largest of which are the American Society for Photobiology (http://www.photobiology.org) and the European Society for Photobiology (http://www.esp-photobiology.it).
