The skin of the human and animal body is characterized by morphological and functional heterogeneity. In terms of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the heterogeneity of skin is described as "Acupoints" and "Channels".
The basis of the acupoint is formed by the loose connective tissue with a large number of nervous receptors, free nervous endings, a developed vascular system, cell elements containing biologically active substances, and a mass of gap connections.
"Channels" can be imagined as a system of "gaps", which are stretched out along the well know anatomical structures. The surface of the muscles, bones, tendons, vessels and others form the "external walls" of the "channels" (fig 2/b). These "gaps" or "channels" are filled by fibrous connective tissue, electrolytes and structured molecules of water. Impulses of relatively low frequency can be conducted by the nervous system, but high frequency signals generated by cell membranes can be conducted by the "gaps" or wave-guides.

Physical basis for examination of Ying Qi. Ying Qi (nutrient Qi) circulates mainly in the Regular Channels. In modern terms it can be correlated to the bodies metabolic activity. Activity of this deep part of the point is reflected on the conductivity of the point "channel", as well as conductivity of the point entrance/exit on the skin surface. Measuring conductivity of the points provides definition of the point "channel’s" and Regular channel conductivity.

A special device for visualization of low resistance points, or skin areas, has been developed. Initially an earthen bio-object is placed in an electrostatic field, created by a high-voltage corona discharge. The Electrostatic field intensity is at the maximum in the point (or skin area) of the minimum skin resistance. Luminescence originates in the maximum field intensity points and reflects the functional state of the biological object. To enhance the points' luminescence, the analyzed object must be covered by a thin dielectric layer (a paper, cotton fabric, polyester film, etc.).

The method of visualization, assesses the functional state of the analyzed biological object, using corporal (channel and out of channel) points, as well as points of various micro-systems (ear, palm, nose, etc.), both on the human or animal skin and on the surface of any plants. The diagnostic value is shown as brightness at the point of luminescence, as well as relaxation time.

Electro-Therapy by AcuVision. AcuVision device has been developed for visualization of acupoints with low resistance. But it also provides electro-puncture and air-ion-puncture with an individual selection of influence mode.
When positive electrode is applied negative ions and electrons are moved from the patient’s body to the AcuVision-device electrode. In this case "sedation" effect can be realized. When negative electrode is applied negative ions and electrons are moved from the AcuVision-device electrode to patient’s body. In this case "stimulation" effect can be achieved.
The electrical current conducted between patient’s body and AcuVision-device is changed depending on acupoints resistance. Usual therapeutic electrical current via the whole patient’s body is 30-40 µA (it never exceeds 100 µA). When resistance of the "lowest resistance points" normalizes (i.e. increases) electrical current decreases. So, there is a self-regulation of the therapeutic process.

Without dielectric medium one may apply AcuVision for air-ion puncture. With dielectric medium AcuVision device is applied to realize effect of electro-puncture, because of the fact, that at the border of dielectric layer and air the process of transformation of the corona discharge into spike discharge takes place.
