Under the web page: http://www.holoworld.com/holo/diode.html is the "35mw diode test" where "index matching fluid" was NOT used. My questions are what is this fluid (made of what?) and why is it (sometimes) necessary? thanks, E.K.

If you look back in the older posts there is a long thread covering the things people use and the methods. I seem to remember a long post from Jonathan H. covering a good method. Frank has sorted out a method to not use it and it is posted there as well. It's purpose is to stop the reflection from the interface between the back of the film and the film holder. This can cause a reflection that makes a "wood grain" pattern in the hologram. The most commen problem is to have dust land on the holder before you can get the film down. This causes little "fish eyes" in the hologram. 64.167.150.244
