onto the adjacent interface surface. The template onto the adjacent interface surface. The template is produced by illuminating a specially is produced by illuminating a specially designed ,highly efficient holographic optical designed ,highly efficient holographic optical element with a red diode laser.element with a red diode laser.

Step2Step2:: Reference plane illumination (Micro-Reference plane illumination (Micro-illumination Module TM)illumination Module TM)

A infra-red plane of light is generated just above, A infra-red plane of light is generated just above, and parallel to the, interface surface. This light is and parallel to the, interface surface. This light is invisible to the user and hovers a few millimeter invisible to the user and hovers a few millimeter above the surface. above the surface.
