Claims
- 1. A system for projecting a rectangular grid pattern upon an object comprising:
- a. a first transparent slab, said first transparent slab having front and rear partially reflecting surfaces;
- b. a first source of coherent light directed at the first transparent slab generating a first beam of interference fringes;
- c. a second source of coherent light;
- d. a second transparent slab, said second transparent slab having partially reflecting front and rear surfaces and being positioned in the path of a second source of coherent light to generate a second beam of interference fringes directed into the first transparent slab at a right angle to that of the first source of coherent light to form a rectangular grid pattern upon the object; and
- e. means for recording the rectangular grid pattern upon the object.
- 2. A system for projecting a rectangular grid pattern according to claim 1 wherein the first and second coherent light sources are lasers.
- 3. A system for projecting a rectangular grid pattern according to claim 2 which further comprises a collimating lens interposed between the first transparent slab and the object.
- 4. A system for projecting a rectangular grid pattern according to claim 3 wherein the recording means is a photographic camera.
- 5. A system for projecting a rectangular grid pattern according to claim 4 wherein the first and second transparent slabs are glass having partial front and rear coatings of silver.
