(above image is a result however it’s very faint and shows up better in video)

I have been working on my ferrofluid visualization technique in my MagKnotic project. I had been studying the video that I am using to replicate the process and just had a ‘d’oh’ moment. I was seeing the process as an imaging technique. But, yes it is a technique, however, it’s technically a DISPLAY. The image that appears is merely an effect of the DISPLAY. As such the liquid between the hele-shaw cell needs to remain relatively clear for it to display any sort of image. I bet that this is how most displays were originally made and maybe even made today. 

Maybe instead of focusing on creating an IMAGE I could focus on techniques to display an image. The image is a result of a successful display.
