1. With regard to biophysics.

   “Expressed biophysically, ultraviolet radiation of wave lengths larger than about 2,900 Aengstrom units attacks atomic and molecular vibrations; and wave lengths shorte: than 2,900, attack electronic vibrations (photo-electric effects).”

   “With this newer and biophysically established concept of the qualities of the ultra-violet regions, it is at once apparent that the empirically introduced standard of systemic and focal lamps for the air-cooled and water-cooled types has made for profound confusion and possibly injudicious application in the clinic. More properly, the lamps are biologic and bactericidal, and each one should be used systematically or focally, depending upon the pristine pathology of the lesion treated.”
