Abstract: A projection system for providing a magnified image from a holographic transparency in which the transparency is illuminated from one side by a laser, and two lens are serially arranged on the other side of the transparency, the second of these lens having a focal length greater than the first one. An Arnulf afocal plate closely follows serially the second of the lens. A viewer in front of the afocal plates perceives a three-dimensional real image positioned between the viewer and the afocal plate, which image is a magnified and dimensionally correct reproduction of the image from which the hologram was originally made.
