At 1 day post-fertilization (dpf), embryos were prepared using the least possible amount of light.
Maintaining a constant amount of light delivery is important to mitigate possible confounding factors associated with heating (Christie et al., 2013).
It's also worth lowering the amount of light that the camera takes in if possible in settings – there's more on that and other tips for getting a remotely Facebookable photo of the eclipse here.
Throughout these experiments, a constant duty cycle of 30% was used to maintain the total amount of light delivery across frequencies and control for possible heating artifacts (Christie et al., 2013).
Auto mirrors and glass may be on the brink of significant change, thanks to the use of suspended particle devices, known in the industry as S.P.D., which make it possible to control precisely the amount of light passing through glass.
However, it is possible to reduce the UV lamp to two and have sufficient amount of light irradiation.
Another possible reason is that by filling the voids between nanorods with nanoparticles, the amount of light absorption by P3HT is reduced.
One possible reason for the discrepancy, however, is that particle agglomerates are in the measurement beam path and absorb or scatter an anomalously large amount of light.
These modifications will all increase the amount of light harvested.
"I calculate the amount of light needed using trigonometry.
