Abstract
The growth and structure of prebreakdown streamers extending from a negative DC-biased steel needle having a round tip of 3 μm radius were recorded with an intensifier-equipped video camera and video-cassette recorder. The structure as observed in its self-luminous light is quite similar in size and shape to those observed in previous experiments using transmitted light. The results are interpreted in terms of a theoretical study of electrostatically inflated bubbles in the fluid
