Pages 514-646
About the Cover:

The cover features Rhodospirillum rubrum, a photosynthetic bacterium whose antenna proteins have been studied by R.M. Hochstrasser using ultrafast spectroscopy (page 559). Hochstrasser's paper is one of three articles on Lasers in Chemistry, the featured topic of the 8th Waters Symposium. Papers based on this symposium held at Pittcon in March 1997 can be found on pages 555-570.
