Kirlian photography

Kirlian photography is a collection of photographic techniques used to capture the phenomenon of electrical coronal discharges. It is named after Semyon Kirlian, who, in 1939, accidentally discovered that if an object on a photographic plate is connected to a high-voltage source, an image is produced on the photographic plate.The technique has been variously known as"electrography","electrophotography","corona discharge photography" (CDP),"bioelectrography","gas discharge visualization (GDV)","electrophotonic imaging (EPI)", and, in Russian literature, "Kirlianography".
