Structural elucidation of biomolecular ions in the gas phase using novel mass spectrometric and computational methods, 2019:pp. 16-17 (Action spectroscopy, also known as consequence spectroscopy, is a powerful characterization technique. This measurement is based on the "consequence" of light activation such that the dissociation of the targeted ion is an indication of analogous absorption in the condensed phase; Some examples of action spectroscopy are infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy for vibrational transition characterization, ultraviolet-visible photodissociation (UVPD) action spectroscopy for vibronic transitions, and infrared ultraviolet ion dip spectroscopy for the vibrational transition measurement of UV-selected conformers)
found: Photobiology, ©2002:p. 139 (Action spectroscopy is a method for identifying the light-absorbing chromophore in a photobiological or biochemical process by comparing the efficiency of radiation of different wavelengths in driving the process; Action spectroscopy is a method for finding out what the initial step is in a photobiological or photochemical process. More exactly, the method serves to identify the kind of molecule absorbing the active light)

Biophysics of photoreceptors and photomovements in microorganisms, ©1991:p. 293 (Action spectroscopy--the measurement, as a function of wavelength, of the sensitivity of a particular biological response or effect--is a standard approach towards identifying receptor pigment(s) for photobiological phenomena. Comparison of an action spectrum with absorption spectra of known pigments often reveals the identity of the pigment, or class of pigments, involved)
