Each of these spectacular specimens have been carefully irradiated and discharged on either an edge or in the center to create beautiful specimens.  Some interior discharge specimens "self-discharged" while being irradiated. This creates beautifully chaotic, "bushy", or very dense dendritic patterns. Some figures have a mix of various patterns. Although the individual patterns vary significantly from piece to piece, we guarantee that you will be satisfied with yours.  These specimens are incredibly beautiful when illuminated from below by our custom walnut light bases.

Vertical Dendritic Discharge Tree Use with DK60X75W walnut light base	Interior Dendritic Discharge Tree Use with DK60X75W (6") or DK80X75W (8") walnut white LED light base	Horizontal Discharge Tree Use with DK80X75W walnut light base (Very few in stock)
(Click above for larger image)	Light Bases are now available for these figures We now offer custom light bases to complement and enhance the inner beauty of our 6" x 6" and 6" x 8" specimens!  Internally reflected light bathes the entire figure, causing it to glow brightly from within. Larger discharge paths sparkle in an almost crystalline fashion, and even the most delicate, hair-like discharge tips are clearly highlighted.  A 1.25" wide area is available for mounting an engraved plaque for awards.  Power adapters are available for US (120 volt) and  EC (240 volt) power. We can also provide plug converters that allow operation from UK and Australian power.   The Model DK60X75W light base (6" base) with AC Adapter is $78.00 plus $7 S&H. The Model DK80X75W light base (8" base) with AC Adapter is $96.00 plus $8 S&H. Both bases can be purchased from our Gallery 1 Lichtenberg Figures page.	(Click above for larger image)

Vertical Dendritic Tree shown in a DK60X75W Base A space of up to 1.25" x 6" is available to permit adding an engraved plaque to create a truly unique retirement gift or corporate award.	Interior Discharge shown in a DK60X75W Base Similar bases (DK60x75B or DK80x75B) can be supplied with "electric blue" LED's instead of white LED;s. The bright blue color makes the Lichtenberg Figure appear more spark-like.  The blue version is suitable for environments having a lower level of ambient light. Select the DK60x75W or DK80x75W if you have an environment with higher ambient light (such as an office).	Combination of Chaotic and Dendritic  Discharge shown in DK60X75W Base Note: This particular specimen was on exhibit at the Design Museum (Museum fur Gestaltung) in Zurich, Switzerland during the Spring and Summer of 2005. The exhibit, about Dendritic Forms In Science, included fractals, Lichtenberg Figures, and a number of dielectric breakdown photographs by scientist Arthur von Hippel. Note the similarity of the above discharge structure to the million volt Lichtenberg Figures dancing on the surface of the water from the Sandia Z-Machine:
