The Solo Polo
Major collection: Holography
Named collection: Holography Collection
Object type: hologram
Maker: Blyth, Jeff
Date made: 1986
Materials: reflection hologram; film
Measurements: 10 in x 8 in
Nomenclature: commercial
Classification: holograms
The use of a single spread beam onto flat objects enabled holographers to apply a weak laser on a relatively large 10" x 8" sheet. The single spread laser beam principle was first demonstrated by Yuri Denisyuk. Please note that due to the unique challenges of holography as a medium, high-resolution digital images are not available for most items in the holography collection. Please contact us for more information on reproducing images of holograms.
