ABSTRACT:
An optics module for use in a holographic borehole instrument which is operable to determine the stress in the wall of a borehole by recording successively on the same holographic recording medium two holograms of a selected surface region of the wall and, in the interval between the two recordings, drilling a stress relief hole in the wall in stress relieving relation to the selected surface region to produce on the recording medium a double exposure hologram containing holographic information representing the stress. The optics module embodies a frame which adjustably mounts the optical elements of the holographic system of the instrument in a manner which facilitates initial alignment of the system and preserves the alignment during instrument operation.
