Holography, which employs laser light to produce accurate three-dimensional images, has long been used by engineers to study stresses in building materials and machine parts. Now one of holography's pioneers is developing a new use for the 30-year-old process. Physicist George Stroke, head of the Electro-Optical Sciences Laboratory of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, has found a way to use holography to see into crystals and view the arrangement of their atoms from inside...
