Masked 2D Sculptures with a single discharge layer

These specimens were masked on one side and then irradiated through the mask to create single-layer discharges only in regions that were not masked. Some specimens also show a bit of radiation fogging that further enhances the "spiral galaxy" effect. All sculptures are shown in custom walnut light bases with white LED's. Bases are also available with Electric Blue LED's or with two multi-color color-changing LED options (please inquire). Newer sculptures may show slight yellow-green fluorescence when illuminated by Electric Blue LED's. Base power options include US, UK, EC, and Australian.

These specimens use lead masks on BOTH sides and are irradiated on each side. The masks block the electrons, preventing them from charging the acrylic regions underneath the masks. Passing the specimens through the beam, flipping them over, and passing them through the beam a second time created two discharge layers. When discharged, the discharge layers become linked from one layer to the other. This creates a very unique, complex 3D "ripples in a pond" or other patterns as the discharges propagate outward from the center. Discharges propagate through the charge layers while also going back and forth between rings in the top and bottom discharge layers. The two discharge layers are separated by about 1/2", and each layer is about 1/4" below the outer surface. The following side view shows how the two-layer linked discharges were created. Photos simply cannot do these specimens justice - they are truly unique and are, quite frankly, some of the most spectacular specimens we've ever created! We're looking at ways to display these using either a pair of 3D images or a short video clip. This is the first time that these have been offered, and they will disappear quickly! Sculptures are shown in custom walnut light bases with blue or white LED's. Custom bases are also available with other LED colors (red, yellow, and green). Two multi-color color-changing LED options are also available (please inquire). Some sculptures may show slight yellow-green fluorescence when illuminated by Electric Blue LED's. Base power options include US, UK, EC, and Australian.
