	Lichtenberg
		Georg Christoph Lichtenberg was born in Oberramstadt, near Darmstadt, on July 1, 1742.
		In 1769 Georg Christoph Lichtenberg became assistant professor (extraordinary professor) of physics and in 1775 professor (ordinary professor) of the University of Göttingen.
		Notably, Lichtenberg constructed a huge electrophorus and, in the course of experimentations, discovered in 1777 the basic principle of modern xerographic copying; the images that he reproduced are still called "Lichtenberg figures." These are radial patterns formed when sharp, pointed conducting bodies at high voltage get near enough to insulators to discharge electrically.

	Lichtenberg figure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lichtenberg figures are named after the German physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, who originally discovered and studied them.
		Lichtenberg Figures are typically formed by the rapid electric discharge or redistribution of charge carriers residing on the surface or the interior of nonconductors.
		Lichtenberg figures appearing on people are sometimes called Lightning Flowers, and they are thought to be caused by the rupture of small capillaries under the skin due to either the passage of the lightning current or the shock wave from the lightning discharge.

		Lichtenberg laments his poor eyesight and hearing, his endless headaches, his awful teeth, his runtish body, his snorting, his rashes, his "miserable vessel." He thinks mainly of having a woman, sometimes about magnetism and electricity.

		Lichtenberg Figures are branching, tree or fern-like patterns that form as the result of high voltage discharges on, or within, insulating materials (dielectrics).
		The first Lichtenberg Figures were actually 2-dimensional patterns formed in dust on the surface of a charged plate in the laboratory of their discoverer, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799, pronounced "Lick'-tun-berg"), a German physicist.
		A Lichtenberg Figure (sometimes called a Lichtenberg Tree, Lichtenberg Pattern, Electron Tree, or Spark Tree) can be formed when an acrylic block is penetrated by a high speed beam of electrons.
