Brain/Skull Hologram

Image result for Brain/Skull Hologram

This hologram was created in the laboratory of Polaroid Holographics in Cambridge MA in the 1980s. The image was created from two extremely realistic models (models created by a medical miniaturist, hologram made originally for inclusion in a medical encyclopedia).

This is a two-channel hologram, one being the brain alone shown in the skull cavity, the second has musculature and eye. This is an extremely 3D true film hologram and must be viewed under a quality illumination source to be seen in it's full glory, which can be direct sunlight (not in shadow or behind a cloud), halogen light, streetlamp at night, single LED.
