8/18/09

Today was very fun. I started off the morning with a class on holograms. This was informative yet enjoyable and I got to see how complex the imaging process really is. There is a ridiculous amount of information about which I have no idea. We got to see an incredible hologram of a telephone with a magnifying glass in front of it. When you moved your head, the image reacted just like it would if you were standing in front of the thing itself. Even the image inside the magnifying glass changed. It was unbelieveable. One of the coolest things I have seen this summer for sure.
Next, we got to make holograms in the dark room. This was also a really neat experience, especially since I had made the chemicals with which to run the experiment. My first hologram didn't come out perfectly, so they allowed me to go down and do another one. It was nice that they didn't mind doing it all again.
I figured out the registration today with Karl's help. Things are working much better and the timing couldn't be any better either. Loose ends have all been tied up here at the end of the summer.
