A hologram is able to produce a highly accurate visual reproduction of a real object due to its ability to recreate the pattern of travelling light (wavefront) reflected off the object during the hologram's recording process. When replayed, the hologram converts the light illuminating it into the same moving light wavefront that came from the object.
What this means in practice is that when observers look at the hologram, they will see an image of the object as if it was really there. They will be able to move around and see the object from any angle within the viewing zone. Examining the image with a magnifying glass will show up all the details and intricacies present in the original object as it would in real life. The capture of this level of detail is only made possible by the very high resolution of our BB emulsion used to record the hologram.
Our technical expertise with true colour holography means that the hologram will also closely reproduce the original colours of the object. People are unable to tell the difference when viewing the hologram and object side by side. As a result holograms now have the potential to be used to preserve as a complete visual record any rare objects that may be subject to deterioration over time, or to display expensive items for public observation whilst the real object is safely locked away. Replicating such a hologram would even allow one-off items to be on display in several different locations at the same time.
