Excerpt from Biological Effects of Radiation, Vol. 1: Mechanism and Measurement of Radiation, Applications in Biology, Photochemical Reactions, Effects of Radiant Energy on Organisms and Organic Products

This Survey purposely excludes to a large extent practical considera tions relating to plant production. Likewise it excludes those phases of applied radiology which are generally regarded as purely clinical or therapeutic; but at the same time it is recognized that clinical effects are necessarily more clearly analyzed and interpreted through the avenue of sound experimental findings, while the reasonableness of therapeutic practice is logically based upon facts well established in the laboratory. On the other hand, the applications in plant science, in medicine, and in technology have, of course, notably stimulated research and enriched the opportunities for fundamental work. Without extending too far the limits of this work it was not possible to include chapters on applied phases of absorption spectroscopy, emission spectral analyses of tissues, and radiation problems relating to the phenomenon of Vision in higher animals and man.
