Summary
This doctoral thesis examines melanosome transfer, photoreception, and toxicity assays in melanophores, contributing to foundational understanding of light-sensitive pigment cells. The practical implications for lighting design are limited, as this is primarily basic science research into cellular photoreception mechanisms.
