Abstract: Diffraction from a pair of 2D apertures which are the inverse of each other. The aperture is switch from one to the other in the first part of the video and the effect on the screen can be seen in the second half. The switch in the second half is very subtle, illustrating that the diffraction patterns are in fact the same.
