This methodology for taking an electrophotography uses a special type of electrode called ECT (Transparent Condenser Electrode), a reflex camera, a macro lens and preferably a high speed color film.
(A reflex type is recommended for better results, but a less sophisticated one may be used.)

It has the advantage that the film is used in the conventional way: light gathering (as the manufacturer intended) thus, direct contact is prevented, therefore no false images are produced (as in the ECNT methodology).

Also, as the film is located away from the high voltage source, no extra precautions are needed with the film.


Below you have the general arrangement for this methodology and some construction tips on ECTs.

On the left you have a picture of the ECT and associated equipment.

In the lower right corner of the ECT (the glass panel on the right side of the picture) I put a leaf and attached to it the GND electrode. The HV terminal comes from my HV Generator (the black box on the left). Under the HV Generator you'll see my 0-30 volts DC regulated power supply. A yellow multimeter in the middle reads 79.34 KHz (the operating frequency of my HV Generator at the moment).
