Abstract: An image capture system for a digital holographic printer is disclosed comprising a digital camera (22) having a relatively small horizontal field of view (29). The camera (22) is translated along a rail (21). As the camera (22) is translated along the rail (21) the camera (22) is also rotated so that it faces a target point of an object which is to be reproduced as an hologram. The image data which is obtained by the camera (22) is converted into image data which corresponds with image data which would have been obtained had a non-rotating camera having a substantially higher horizontal field of view been translated along the rail (21) and been used to capture images of the object.

Abstract: The invention relates to holography and is devoted for hologram copying and Denysiuk type hologram manufacture. The method comprises steps, wherein non-exposed photomaterial (1) is placed in parallel to the master hologram plane (3) and is illuminated with slit-shaped coherent radiation producing an illumination zone (5) which is parallel to the projection of the coherent radiation falling direction (6) onto the master hologram plane, said zone is moving on the non-exposed photo material and master hologram surfaces in direction (10) perpendicular to said projection.
