Abstract
During photosynthesis a metastable state is formed by superfluous excitation energy. Only carotenoids are responsible for the metastable state. Especially no chlorophyll-a is involved in this state. This result was obtained by using the repetitive ultra-short-flash technique in combination with the high frequency modulated measuring light technique.Keywords
