Thanks a lot, Jeffrey!

However, in discussing what may be wrong and how we may be able to induce the Liti to produce an image, we had a lot of fun being creative with our solutions. It'd be interesting to see if this time we get an image. One of the fascinating things about these PCGG meetings is seeing how creative holographers can be (out of necessity?!!) and how this creativity comes out in such an informal structure.
Dinesh, I first tried the Liti just to sort out my problems with my setup. I got some good images, which helped me find out that the source of my problems was not in my stability or setup, but in the Slavich batch I had been used. So I give them the credit of, at least, saving me much frustration and maybe keep me in holography when I was about to quit thinking it was hopeless.
But what I meant by bringing the kit to the meeting was not so much related to the plates, but to the color combination HOE and laser pointers they came up with, which I thought some of you might want to have a look at... the HOE I can bring, but on a second thought, it might not be a good idea to bring the diodes in my luggage, I would not want to lose/damage my only source, no matter how faint, of blue light!
Thanks a lot, Jeffrey!
