To take Kirlian photographs using a standard 35mm film camera, digital camera or video camera, requires the use of a transparent discharge plate. See video tutorials below. A transparent discharge plate is constructed from three main components; a 4" x 5" piece of glass that has a transparent conductive coating (typically tin oxide) on one side, see parts list, a transfer plate and connecting HV wire. The transparency of our transparent discharge plates surpasses 90 percent.

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.

Mesh So Fine You Can Barely See It!
Woven 132/inch mesh polyester fibers coated with blackened copper for better corrosion resistance. Very easy to handle, but not suitable for prolonged skin contact. Combining high performance, ultra light weight, and flexibility. 70% light transmission. 0.1 ohm/sq resistivity. 24" wide.

SEE THROUGH CONDUCTIVE FABRIC
Stretchy silver coated sheer nylon weave.. Resistivity: <5 Ohms/sq. Create your own designs. Many uses! Delicate fabric, rubbing and heavy handling can cause grayish silver to wear off. 72" wide, specify how many linear feet you want. Don't forget to get a grounding cord.

Conductive Plastic Film
27 ohms/sq, this highly conductive and flexible polyester film is Silver/Indium sputter coated for great conductivity. Nearly crystal-clear (greater than 80% light transmission!) and only 5 mil thick, it is easy to cut and tape into shapes Will withstand up to 80°C. 12" wide, sold by the foot. Specify length.

Handle Kirlian Photography Device With Ease and Comfort.

The Foot switch for the Kirlian Photography Device allows the photographer to have both hands free and concentrate on taking the the photograph while setting off the discharge with his or her foot.
