Holograms

I won first!

While giving a talk about holography to a school group recently I mentioned that one could look at a hologram through a microscope and see what you'd see with the original subject.

Since I've got an Intel QX3 microscope I decided to capture a few images.

For the latest Holography Forum contest I made a hologram of Snoopy and Woodstock.

I'd originally planned for the final hologram to be a bit different but I'm happy with what I've got.

A few weeks ago I started work on a hologram inpired by Pirates of the Caribbean and began carving a medallion that I wanted to look like the medallion featured in the movie.

Back on June 5th I wrote about some problems producing a master two channel of a sand dollar. I've since worked out the problems and made a few copies.

The big project this week was a new version of the US flag hologram I made for Andres when he became a US citizen.

I've been working on a penguin layout for several weeks now and finally got a good scene combined with the right lighting.

March of the Penguins was the obvious inspiration.

While working on a penguin-gram this morning I spent some time and put together a new layout for the Flying Spaghetti Monster hologram.
