Lingering impression following representation (5-5)

I believe the answer is:

after-image

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lingering impression' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'following representation' is the wordplay.
'following' becomes 'after' (following can mean after or as a result of).
'representation' becomes 'image' (image is a kind of representation).
'after'+'image'='AFTER-IMAGE'

Can you help me to learn more?
