‘One side of what? The other side of what?’ thought Alice to herself.

This chapter investigates the possibilities offered by including conventional focusing optics in a holographic setup. There are two broadly related situations. The first involves the insertion of lenses into the path of light forming the holographic image in order to produce a magnified or demagnified image, as well as the effects of placing lenses within the subject matter. The second is concerned with holograms of images formed by conventional optics, usually called focused-image holograms, and one-step white-light-viewable ...
