- Page 9 Model 5 The Model 5 shown above, includes the adjustable High Voltage Power supply, Ground Plate (GP) and Transparent Discharge Plate (TDP). High Voltage Power Supply The adjustable High Voltage Power supply is made for Kirlian photography. The frequency and voltage is adjustable.
- Page 10 High Voltage Power Supply The adjustable high voltage power sup- ply has all control and photography functions on the front panel; the main On/Off power switch, momentary con- tact Discharge Switch, Frequency Adjust control and the High-Low Range switch. The On/Off power switch provides main power to the circuit.
- Page 11 Ground Plate (GP) The Ground Plate (GP) makes it easier to ground an in- animate object you want to photography safely and quickly. The black nonconductive plastic of the Ground Plate provides an ideal background to improve the contrast and visibility of the objects corona discharge that you are attempting to photograph.

- Page 14 Photographing People When photographing a living subject (human or animals) DO NOT permit the living subject to be grounded or to touch a ground while being pho- tographed. This will increase the HV current flowing through the subject and will cause an unpleasant shock.
- Page 15 A similar technique described for taking stills is also used to record real time Kirlian video through a transparent discharge plate. Ideally the video camera should be capable of close up photography and be able to record video under extreme low light levels.
