Kirlian image of a fingertip

Kirlian photograph of the " corona discharge" from a persons fingertip. Kirlian photography is also known as electrophotography, & high voltage or radiation field photography. It obtains a photographic image due to interactions between the subject & an applied electric field. No external light source is used; light emitted as photons from the electrical interaction produces the image on film. A controversial medical application of the technique involves correlating the physical & mental well-being of a subject with image variation arising from differences in sweat rate & sweat composition on the skin surface

Corona Discharge Electric Field Finger Tip Imagery Photographic Technique


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Kirlian image of a fingertip, revealing the mesmerizing "corona discharge" emanating from a person's touch. Kirlian photography, also known as electrophotography or high voltage field photography, captures this ethereal image by utilizing an applied electric field and the subject's interaction with it. Remarkably, no external light source is required for this process; instead, the electrical interaction emits photons that form the intricate image on film. While primarily used in scientific research and artistic expression, Kirlian photography has sparked controversy due to its potential medical applications. One such application involves examining variations in sweat rate and composition on the skin surface to correlate them with an individual's physical and mental well-being. By analyzing these subtle differences within the Kirlian imagery, researchers aim to gain insights into human health beyond what traditional methods can provide. This thought-provoking photograph delves into both anatomy and imagery as it unveils the hidden mysteries of our fingertips' corona discharge. It serves as a testament to how photographic techniques like electrophotography can uncover astonishing aspects of our bodies' electric fields. With its intricate details and profound implications for understanding human physiology, this stunning print from Science Photo Library invites us to explore new frontiers at the intersection of science and artistry.
