A Futher Experiment to test the nature of image formation from a living body to a linen shroud lying on a soft mattress.

Investigation of Image Formation on a soft underlay

Testing the nature of image formation from a living body to a linen cloth.

This section of the website contains the details of the second experiment carried out whilst researching the book, The Second Messiah to test the nature of image formation on the shroud of Turin.

We used a naked model, completely coated with pigment, laid on a soft mattress and then covered with a linen sheet in order to produce a contact image of the model's body.

The pattern of pigment transfer and the nature of the contact image produced were then investigated.
