Square natural-light photograph of one small working electronics prototype on a pale matte laboratory workbench. A white solderless breadboard holds a simple, physically plausible LED circuit: a few resistors, neatly arched blue and charcoal jumper wires, one softly glowing blue LED, and a compact plain battery holder connected at its edge. Three-quarter overhead viewpoint, 70mm lens, sufficient depth of field to show component connections clearly. The entire prototype sits in soft window shade; narrow bands of direct sunlight through blinds cross only the empty rear portion of the bench. Clean scientific presentation, realistic materials, restrained white and cool-gray palette, delicate blue glow without exaggerated bloom. Circuit slightly below center, generous uncluttered margins. Photographic realism, not CGI or a diagram. No people, no readable text, no logos, no watermarks.
