Invented
in Russia in the early 1960s, Kirlian photography produces ethereal,
almost ghostly images. The subject is placed on a piece of film, then
held between two metal plates. A high-voltage, low-current electric
field between the plates creates a glowing 'coronal discharge', similar
to the phenomenon of St.Elmo's Fire. The shape and colour of the discharge
depends on many factors, notably moisture in the air. In paranormal
circles this method is seen as visualising an object's 'aura', and is
used as a diagnostic technique in some alternative therapies.
