Abstract

By hacksawing a Polaroid Super Shooter instant camera in two, a device can be made that solves the problem of recording real images (images that can be shown on a screen) for rapid evaluation in a laboratory. The real-image camera described here provides students, whose laboratory time is at a premium, with instant records of their work in an optics lab. The camera should also be useful for recording real images for optical measurements (interferometry, shadowgraphy, Schlieren, and deflection mapping) in research laboratories.
