The Sandbox Holography Kit is the perfect way to introduce your students to the fascinating field of holography, then demonstrate many different aspects of how holograms are photographed and how they can be used. The kit includes instructions and all of the optical elements required to shoot a wide variety of different types of holographic setups. Starting out with simple Direct Beam Reflection and Transmission Holograms, the manual proceeds to instructions for shooting 360° Cylindrical Holograms and Multiple Beam Reflection and Transmission Holograms. The vast information storage capacity of Multiple Channel Holograms and the precise measurement capabilities of Holographic Interferometry are discussed along the way. As compared to the numerous "simple" holography kits on the market today, the 12 different holograph setups detailed in Sandbox Holography offer a far more comprehensive treatment of holographic techniques and uses.

The manual also includes instructions for building a rigid, massive "sandbox" used to dampen shocks and vibrations, providing a stable platform to set the holographic photography up on. The setup and use of a Michelson's Interferometer to test the rigidity and stability of the finished sandbox are also discussed. The study of this fascinating apparatus can be turned into an activity of it's own.

Instructions are also provided for the care and cleaning of the included optical elements.
