Abstract Drosophila have been used as model organisms to explore both the biophysical mechanisms of animal magnetoreception and possibility that weak, low-frequency anthropogenic electromagnetic fields may biological consequences. In cases, presumed receptor is cryptochrome, a protein thought be responsible for magnetic compass sensing in migratory birds variety behavioural responses insects. Here, we demonstrate photo-induced electron transfer reactions melanogaster cryptochrome are indeed...

A white light-emitting diode (LED) with emission between 420 and 700 nm a supercontinuum (SC) source 450 2500 have been compared for use in evanescent wave broadband cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (EW-BB-CEAS). The method is calibrated using dye known absorbance. While the LED more economic as an excitation source, SC superior both terms of baseline noise (noise equivalent absorbances lower than 10(-5) to 10(-4) absorbance units (a.u.)) accuracy measurement; these levels are...

Broadband cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy has been used to record, in real time, the spectrum of microlitre volume aqueous phase droplets within a microfluidic chip assembly. Using supercontinuum radiation and broadband coated external mirrors, full visible (430 nm < λ 700 nm) each passing droplet is acquired situ at high repetition rates (273 Hz/3.66 ms acquisition time) sensitivity (αmin 10−2 cm−1). The possibilities for further improvements rate using custom designed chips are discussed.

Broadband cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (BBCEAS) is shown to be a sensitive method for the detection of magnetic field effects (MFEs) in two flavin-based chemical reactions which are simple models cryptochrome magnetoreceptors. The advantages optical cavity-based and (pseudo-white-light) supercontinuum radiation have been combined provide full spectral coverage across whole visible spectrum (425 < λ 700 nm). This region covers absorbance spectra flavin mononucleotide (FMN) adenine...

Abstract Cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) combined with phase-sensitive detection is employed to study the effects of static magnetic fields on radical recombination reactions. The chemical system comprises photochemically generated thionine semiquinone and a 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) cationic in micellar solution sodium dodecyl sulphate. Data obtained using modulated CEAS technique, describing field effect (MFE) reaction yields, are shown be superior those...
