	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Kirlian photography
		Kirlian's work, from 1939 onward, involved an independent rediscovery of a phenomenon and technique variously called "electrography," "electrophotography," and "corona discharge photography." The underlying physics (which makes xerographic copying possible) was explored as early as 1777 by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (see Lichtenberg figures).
		Kirlian proposed and promoted the idea that the resulting images of living objects were a physical proof of the life force or aura which allegedly surrounds all living beings.
		Kirlian photography has been used by some medical practitioners to diagnose cancer, psychological problems etc. Although this form of diagnostics and Kirlian photography both have their advocates, the use of it in the medical field is still not popular, with controversy surrounding it.

	Kirlian photography and auras
		There have even been claims of Kirlian photography being able to capture "phantom limbs," e.g., when a leaf is placed on the plate and then torn in half and "photographed," the whole leaf shows up in the picture.
		She was convinced that the Kirlian process was an open door to the "bioenergy" of the astral body.
		None of these Kirlian methods of diagnosis should be confused with other types of medical photography, e.g., roentgen-ray computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, single photon/positron emission computed tomography and other useful types of medical imaging, none of which have anything to do with auras.

	Kirlian and Aura Photography - Crystalinks
		It is named after Semyon Kirlian, who in 1939 accidentally discovered that if an object on a photographic plate is subjected to a strong electric field, an image is created on the plate.
		Kirlian made controversial claims that his method showed proof of supernatural auras, said to resemble a rough outline of the object like a colorful halo.
		This claim was said to be supported by experiments by the Kirlians that involved cutting part of a leaf off - the Kirlian images of such leaves, it was said, still showed the leaves as whole, as though the cutting had never happened.

		Semymon Kirlian used his experiences along with trial and error to verify the correctness of his own ideas, and coupled with his stubborn and laborious method of work, proved successful with the creation of a device for photography and visual observation by means of high frequency, high-voltage, low-current electricity.
		That's because it has been claimed that Kirlian was able to use auras that surrounds the objects in his electro-photographs to detect illness in plants and animals before any other outward symptoms were visible.
		In Kirlian photography, a variable frequency high-voltage source is used to produce images on photographic film.

		Kirlian photography is named after two Russians called Semyon and Valentina Kirlian who did research on high-voltage photography (or electrophotography) and who suggested that the haloes which their photographs showed around living things provided evidence of the existence of a non-physical energy force or aura.
		Those who use Kirlian photography claim that problems or disorders of the body or mind can change the body’s powerful electrical force and that these changes can be measured and recorded with their special photographic techniques.
		Kirlian photography is the alternative version of radiology, and photographs taken by Kirlian photographers (sometimes known as practitioners of Kirlian aura diagnosis) are the alternative equivalent of X-rays.

		Their conclusions are that Kirlian photography is a window onto the world of ‘bioenergy’, and they and others have linked Kirlian Photography to telepathy, orgone energy, N-rays, acupuncture, ancient eastern religions, and other paranormal phenomena.
		Moss and Johnson believe that the Kirlian photography actually depicts a heretofore invisible ‘astral body,’ while others believe that it is a merely an electrical effect that is somehow sensitive to psychic states.
		After the introduction of photography, the Czech physicist Batholomew Navratil (1848-1927) and the Polish-Russian electrotherapist, engineer and physician Yakov Narkiewicz-Yodko (1848-1904) were the first to use the new medium to record electric discharges from animate and inanimate objects and to systematically investigate the effect.

	Kirlian photography
		The process of Kirlian photography is named after Seymon Kirlian, an amateur inventor and electrician of Krasnodar, Russia, who pioneered the first efforts on the process in the early 1940s.
		Experiments in photographing objects in electrical fields, prior to Kirlian, was called "electrography" or "electrographic photography." Little value was seen in the process, so scant attention was given to it.
		The principle of Kirlian photography, as well as all electrography, is the corona discharge phenomenon, that takes place when an electrically grounded object discharges sparks between itself and an electrode generating the electrical field.

		Kirlian photography was a pseudoscience fad in the 70's, and has recently been making a comeback amongst New Age loonies.
		The common Kirlian setup is to put a piece of glass on top of the subject to hold it flat during the exposure.
		If this were done with a moist leaf, the leaf might leave a moisture imprint on the glass, which, even after a piece of the leaf was torn off, would still be a conductive path that would show the full outline of the leaf.
