Yes, I'm reminded of how difficult blue holograms are - so much scattering from the gelatin even when using fine grained
emulsion. I think that using a blue LED for illumination could help, or, for white light illumination, soaking the emulsion in a Methylene blue solution (a water soluble blue dye) might be effective in improving contrast without reducing the brightness too much...
