Dr. Fritz Popp
Dr. Popp is recognized internationally for his
pioneering work in the quantitative measurement of light emitting from
living cells. The emission of radiation is given the name of Biophotons.
Dr. Popp has written many papers in this area and I had the opportunity
of visiting with him and dialoging on this work on June 3, 1987. Dr. Popp's tests consist of taking a sample seed, putting it into a dark chamber, and measuring it with a special photomultiplier tube for a period of 2 to 308 seconds. He then takes the signals that are being emitted and puts them into a computer program to get a quantitative summary of the photonic emission of radiation that comes from a sample. The particular sample that Dr. Popp demonstrated was the use of germinated cucumber seeds which had never been exposed to light and kept to complete darkness in a closed container. They were then exposed to the photomultiplier tube and the light output measured. Graphs were made indicating the light emissions coming out of the seed.
