Abstract

Filming of cultured HeLa cells using time-lapse cinevideomicrography techniques, with exposure to an extremely low frequency electromagnetic field allowed the direct observation of a localized cellular destruction process caused by a white light-electromagnetic field interaction. This phenomenon was not observed with normal human fibroblasts.
