BIOLUMINESCENCE / LUCIFERIN & LUCIFERASE SYSTEMS

INTRODUCTION TO THE LUCIFERIN BIOLUMINESCENCE SYSTEM 
THAT YOU CALL LIFE! 

Light is not only what brightens up our world by day and makes us see the things around us, light is also produced by our own cells and forms a major component of man's inner environment and a non-material part of our bodies connecting us with the outer environment.

What are biophotons and how were they discovered?

"Biophotons, or ultra weak photon emissions of biological systems, are weak electromagnetic waves in the optical range of the spectrum - in other words: light. All living cells of plants, animals and human beings emit biophotons which cannot be seen by the naked eye but can be measured by special equipment developed by German researchers.

The existence of this endogenous light has been discovered in the 1920's by the Russian embryologist Alexander Gurwitsch and has been conclusively demonstrated by modern biophysicists since the late 1960's with state-of-the-art technology and methods.

All living organisms, including humans, emit a low-intensity glow that cannot be seen by the naked eye, but can be measured by photomultipliers that amplify the weak signals several million times and enable the researchers to register it in the form of a diagram. As long as they live, cells and whole organisms give off a pulsating glow with a mean intensity of several up to a few ten thousand photons per second and square centimeter.
