Hi,

Sorry for the silly question on what may be a pseudo-scientific subject, but
I'd like to ask about corona discharge imaging, more ubiquitously known as
Kirlian photography.

I remember back in highschool, a teacher of ours, who was into all the
new-age holistic stuff, showed us a picture of a plant seed that had been
taken thru Kirlian photography.

Around the image of the seed, was an aura-type image that resembled a flower
in full bloom -- even tho it was just the seed that was being photographed
in this manner.

Is such an image possible? Or was it just a hoax, or maybe just the
imagination trying to insert an image into the picture?

Please reply to av482@torfree.net as I don't read this group very often.
