👉 Photostatic is a term used in the field of medical imaging to describe a process where light from an X-ray machine or other sources of visible light are reflected off a surface, causing a change in the material's electrical properties. This can be used to create a digital image that reflects back the original source of light. In photography and other forms of art, photostatic effects are often used to produce images that have a more realistic appearance due to the way they reflect light from their surroundings.
