HS main optical Unit upgrade to large format. Note the larger master plateholder and the additional overhead illuminator.

Upgraded Transfer Rig used in the Large Format Option.

Large Format Option 

The standard HS2 Holographic Studio system is capable of producing both master and final holograms of 40 x 60cm. The large format option increases the maximum master hologram size to 0.8m x 1m and the maximum final hologram size to 1m x 1.4m. The large format option may be fitted either before shipping or as a retrofit at the client's facilities. 

The large format option includes:

• A large master plateholder (see left top) to replace the standard master plate holder;

• An overhead illuminator (see left top)  to supplement the two standard side illuminators together with all necessary additional internal optics;

• A large transfer rig (see left bottom) to replace the standard rig;

• A set of large transfer mirrors  (not shown) to replace the standard set;

• A large spherical collimating mirror to replace the standard mirror.

Laser Upgrade Option

The standard HS Holographic Studio system is fitted with a 2 Joule Neodymium glass laser. This laser produces adequate energy for the recording of most holograms even when the system is upgraded with the large format option. However, for large format deeper images Geola is able to offer a laser upgrade to either 5 Joules before shipping or as a retrofit.
