An image or pattern produced on a surface by electrons emitted from a cathode.
From cathodo- + -graph meaning 'something written or drawn.' Combines cathode technology with the concept of making a visual record or image.
Early scientists used cathodographs to see invisible electron beams—they'd let the electrons hit special materials and watch the glowing patterns form, like drawing with invisible light.
