The camera sounded interesting - I think I found what you were
talking about:
http://www.auraphoto.com/
They are expensive ($9,698.00) but apparently quite profitable:
http://www.auraphoto.com/Aura/Rechnunge.htm
Here's how they work:
"An aura photograph is the camera designer's idea of what your
aura should look like; according to their research. This research
is based upon linking clairvoyant observations with the galvanic
skin response on test subjects. The designers have attempted to
give a specific colour value to different patterns of galvanic
skin responses."
"An aura photograph, therefore, is an electronically created
illusion - not an actual photograph of an aura."
http://www.astralpulse.com/guides/auras/auras_2.htm
Kirlian photography is simply the corona around an object caused by
the high voltage used. The cut leaf phenomenon may be an artifact of
setting up the exposure:
"The accepted explanation amongst scientists is that the images
produced are those typically caused by a high voltage corona
effect, similar to those seen from other high voltage sources such
as Van de Graaff generator. In a darkened room, this is visible as
faint glow; but because of the high voltages, the film is affected
in a slightly different way than usual. Color photographic film is
calibrated to faithfully produce colors when exposed to normal
light. The corona discharge has a somewhat different effect on the
different layers of dye used to accomplish this result, resulting
in various colors depending on the local intensity of the
discharge."
"Researchers at Drexel University , however, have claimed that
they were unable to reproduce the effect when the glass used to
capture the original leaf was replaced with new glass before the
freshly cut leaf was photographed, leading them to conclude that
the "cut leaf" phenomenon was caused by microscopic etching in the
surface of the glass which occurred during preparing the images of
the uncut leaf. They also reported on a number of demonstrable
causes such as surface moisture and pressure which can account for
much of the variations in color, shape, and size of the resulting
image."

Also, the effect disappears in a vacuum, showing the corona is
responsible for the exposure:
"Living things...are moist. When the electricity enters the living
object, it produces an area of gas ionization around the
photographed object, assuming moisture is present on the object.
This moisture is transferred from the subject to the emulsion
surface of the photographic film and causes an alternation of the
electric charge pattern on the film."
"If a photograph is taken in a vacuum, where no ionized gas is
present, no Kirlian image appears. If the Kirlian image were due
to some paranormal fundamental living energy field, it should not
disappear in a simple vacuum (Hines)."

The corona effect also exists with inanimate objects such as coins,
which obviously have no "Life Force":

Mybe you get pretty pictures, but perhaps not very useful except for
entertainment value.
