Summary:The possibility to record ultrarealistic holographic color images depends on selecting the optimal recording laser wavelengths. In order to record holograms with a high signal‐to‐noise ratio, it is important that the recording silver halide grains in the emulsion are very small. Since a blue laser wavelength is needed for recording color holograms, the light scattering within the emulsion needs to be kept at a very low level, which requires the silver halide grain size to be below 10 nm. The most information published about producing very small or ultrafine‐grain silver halide crystals comes from the very early work on Lippmann photography and Lippmann emulsions. The emulsion research and development work carried out for SilverCross has met adequately all the key design specifications, characteristics, and requirements laid down in the project's technical specifications. The virtual color image behind an OptoClone represents the most realistic‐looking 3D image of an object that can be recorded today.
