Low-tech vibration control for holography

摘要

Many artists and educators involved in holography have not had the budget to purchase commercial tables or benches, but instead have improvised in a number of interesting ways. The sandbox table, credited to Gerald Pethick, is one example of an ingenious solution in the quest for affordable vibration control for holography. In my research, I have found others. In this paper I discuss various non-commercial `tables' with two purposes in mind: the first is to have it act as a resource to those interested in constructing their own holography system or table; the second, is as historical documentation of how holographers have worked to create their images.
