Photobiology
Broad spectrum of capabilities to evaluate skin's response to light
The interplay of light with our skin is unavoidable. These interactions can have both beneficial and harmful effects depending on a wide range of conditions. Excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation from solar exposure is known to cause skin damage and contribute to the development of skin cancers. However, this UV radiation is also necessary for the natural synthesis of Vitamin D in the skin. Ten Bio has developed a wide range of photobiology capabilities to enable a deeper understanding of the interaction of light with skin.
