“For Kirlian’s electrophotography of leaves that have been cut reveal their original contour as well as the missing part. In addition, the colors produced vary according to the species, age, and health of the tree from which the specimen was taken”

One of the biggest knocks against Kirlian photography is the fact that the same aural fields can be produced regardless of whether there is an object in the picture or not. When Kirlian devices are used to take pictures of black screens, they still reveal colorful coronal patterns. Regardless, the fact remains that something is happening to produce these fields, so what is it?

Kirlian cameras actually show visual interpretations of physical phenomena such as barometric pressure, moisture. When high voltage charges are passed through metallic plates they strip surrounding atoms of their electrons, which causes them to ionize. As a result, any moisture present in the air will show up as a glowing silhouette around the object being photographed. This is an observable scientific phenomenon known as corona plasma discharge. You can test it yourself by taking a Kirlian photograph of someone before and after they’ve taken heavy exercise. You’ll find that the auric field generated around the person in the latter photograph will be far larger, due to the excess sweat on their body.

Therefore, any impressions left over from dissected leafs can be blamed on moisture residue from the plant’s surface.
