Abstract
An apparatus and method for regulating the behavior of an atomic, molecular or cellular target is disclosed that includes a light source positioned to redirect light from the light source toward the target site. The light source may be, e.g., a combination of a light and a micromirror array or a liquid crystal display. A computer connected to, and controlling, the light source and a variable spectrum generator is placed in the path of light produced by the light source, wherein the light that is passed through said variable spectrum generator is of one or more wavelengths of light and may be used for, e.g., microscopy or image scanning.
