Method for detecting photosynthesis inhibition

摘要

This invention relates to a method for detecting the photosynthesis-inhibitory activity of substances by providing cells or cell parts with an intact photosystem, introducing the cells or cell parts into a planar layer, applying the test substance to the planar layer or into the planar layer, excitation of the luminescence of the cells or cell parts in the planar layer by an excitation light source, measuring the luminescence of the cells or the cell parts in the planar layer by means of a detector, and associating the detector signal with the degree of photosynthesis inhibition.
