    Developing the family of curves for the Human Melatonin Action Spectrum

    The original experiment for plotting the melatonin action spectrum involved instantaneous purified wavelengths.

    This is not typical light that enters the eye.

    I suggest superimposing white light on top of each purified wavelength and develop the family of curves as purified colors will likely have the left most peak action wavelength, but purified color + increasing amounts of white will move the peak ac...
