This is a lichtenberg figure produced in acrylic. It is made by space charging the block with an electron gun then creating a point defect in the edge with a grounded hammer. I lit it from the edges with several LEDs on a bread board.

Had to look that up to see what is was, thanks for the education.
Nice photo, but there isn't anything about it that really jumps off the screen. I don't have any ideas how to improve it.
