    Ultra-weak photon emission in the visible range 

was measured on palm and dorsal side of left and right 

hand by means of a low noise photomultiplier system. To 

study the dynamics of this photon emission in a 24 h period 

photon emission was recorded in 2 h intervals in 5 

experiments, utilizing strict protocols for dark adaptation 

and recording of subjects. 



Fluctuations in photon emission in the course of 24 h 

period were demonstrated for each anatomic location. 

Mean photon emission over the 24 h period differed both 

between subjects and hand locations. To detect a pattern in 

the fluctuations the mean value for each location of each 

subject in each experiment was utilized to calculate 

fluctuations during the course of 24 h for each anatomical 

location. 



The fluctuations in photon emission in the course of 24 h 

were more at dorsal sides than palm sides. The correlation 

between fluctuations in palm and dorsal side was not ap- 

parent. During the 24 h period a change in left-right 

symmetry occurred for the dorsal side but not for the palm 

of the hands. Photon emission at the left dorsal location 

was high at night, while the right dorsal side emitted most 

during the day. 



It is concluded that a daily rhythm in photon emission can 

be recorded from both the dorsal and palm sides of the 

hands.
