The image principle developed for static problems involving an anisotropic half‐space and bounded by either a perfect electric or magnetic conductor is extended to problems with an anisotropic surface impedance boundary. Such a boundary can be applied to approximate a thin layer of anisotropic conducting material above the anisotropic half‐space. The problem is limited by requiring similar anisotropy for the surface impedance and the transverse part of the resistivity dyadic of the half‐space. It is seen that, instead of a point image for a point source, the image consists of a combination of a point image and a line image obeying an exponential law. The effect of the impedance surface on the potential field of a point source is considered in terms of a numerical example.
