Abstract
WHETHER the effect on the living skin of a constant dose of ultra-violet radiation is the same if given with high intensity in a short pulse as if given with low intensity over a longer period of time has not apparently been recorded. We have therefore examined the tissue injury caused in mouse skin by ultra-violet light of wave-length about 300 mµ when the intensity of the incident light was varied from 1014 to 1021 hv/cm.2 sec.
