Description

Each Hologram Kit has a hologram-quality laser that has been specially chosen for the stable operation and output necessary for making holograms. True holograms are formed from a nano-scale interference pattern of laser light, and it is important to have a laser that is capable of producing the coherent and stable output required (but don't worry, the the laser isn't going to hurt you, and has also been chosen to be completely safe). The unique Instant Hologram Film that comes in the kits is an amazing photopolymer material that develops the hologram as it is forming, and as a result does not need any separate developing or chemicals. Although the film is light sensitive before it is exposed, it is possible to make holograms in full room light or a classroom, as the laser exposure for the hologram is more active than the room light exposure. After exposure, the film's active components have been consumed, and the hologram is ready to be viewed immediately and will not be affected by room lights or additional laser light during viewing. This aspect of the film also makes hologram exposures very forgiving, because it is very difficult to overexpose the film. Typical hologram exposures with the kit are about 5 minutes.

The Step-by-Step Instructions make assembly for the kits quick and easy to follow. The laser cut acrylic pieces fit together almost like puzzle pieces to assure that you have everything aligned and in the proper position for making your first hologram. However the layout is also adjustable so that you can hack your own configurations after you get more comfortable. The Hologram Kit is also expandable, with upgrade kits that let you make additional types of holograms and even scale up to bigger holograms.
