  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.

Best Wishes,
