Zusammenfassung:The skin-damaging effects of the UV part of solar radiation are well known and therefore are a focus of photobiological research. However, UVR is only a small part of the solar radiation flux that reaches the earth’s surface. In this issue, Liebel et al. shed light on the biological effects of visible solar radiation on human skin.
