The Model 4 has all photography functions on the front panel.

These include the on/off power switch, discharge switch, Hi-Low frequency switch and variable frequency control. The discharge plate is located on the left hand side of the device. The terms discharge plate and film plate mean one and the same.

The on/off switch provides main power to the circuit. discharge switch is a momentary contact switch that applies the electrical power to the discharge plate. The frequency control varies the frequency of the electrical power going to the discharge plate.

Additional Features:

• External Power binding posts for portable field work
• External Trigger binding posts, to make exposures at a distance using a simple switch or relay.
• Monitor binding posts, to connect to an oscilloscope to monitor frequency and pulse rate of internal oscillator used to energize the high voltage circuit.
• 1/4" Jack for connecting a foot switch. Allows photographer to activate discharge using the foot switch. Using the foot switch allows the photographer to free his or her hand.
• This device is designed to work with all 4" X 5" color, b/w 4" X 5" sheet film and paper as well as polaroid film.
• Make to used with transparent discharge plate to create kirlian photographs using standard lens cameras: digital, film and video.

This piece of glass has a conductive tin oxide coating on one side. The tin oxide coating is so thin it is transparent. The glass is used to make a tranparent discharge plate that allows one to use a standard cameras, 35 MM, Digital and Video to shoot Kirlian photographs. Instructions for using and making a transparent can be found here.
