The invention relates to read/write methods for information hidden from visual perception and can be used to visualize hidden images of identification of an object, which provide protection against unauthorized reproduction. The surface of the object is first polished. An optically invisible marking image is formed on the polished surface by modifying at least one area of the surface, which changes the surface energy of modified sites. Said marking image is visualized by establishing a meta-stable environment in the vicinity of the aforementioned surface of the object. The marking image is produced in the form of distinguished structures formed by stable phase particles of the meta-stable environment at the sites of the object surface having different surface energy. Prior to performing a visualization process of the optically invisible marking image, the surface containing the modified areas is electrically-charged and cleaned by friction. |
