Abstract: A method for producing a visible image with the help of a photoconductor under the action of irradiation which carries the image and causes the appearance of current and charges in the medium wherein the photoconductor is disposed, and which renders the image visible under the action of current and charges when illuminated. Said medium contains components selected from the group comprising a solution of an electrolyte, a gasified liquid, a liquid that approaches the condition of boiling, a saturated, and a supersaturated vapour, and creates phase nuclei in response to the passage of current and charges in direct proximity to the surface of the photoconductor. The phase nuclei concentrate in the areas corresponding to the areas of higher irradiation of the photoconductor, thus reproducing the image.
