The Forgflu EMU-4B is mentioned in the Federal Register, VOL 36, NO. 25 - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1971, page 2527, left-hand column. This article was written by Charley M. Denton, Bureau of Domestic Commerce. That article also references FR Doc.71-1592 Filed 2-4-71; 8:47 am
There was a team of consulting scientists on set during technical scenes. Equipment was real on loan, rental or purchase from actual tech companies such as Korg. Michael Crichton graduated from Harvard Med and did his Post Doc at Salk. In the book he goes into detail about things like Millipore Filters (R) which I'd read about in science magazines my father had bought for me. They had the ability to filter out any life form above the mass of naked genetic information. It is best to go over the science in the movie step by step to understand it. It seems to be valid.
The EM FX was designed by Douglas Trumbull. !!!. He is the SFX man of genius who got us away from the cigar shaped space ships on strings of 1950s movies and into the utterly paradigm busting images of 2001:ASO (1968) by Stanley Kubrick. Trumbull executed the Andromeda Strain crystal life form microbial colony without electronics of any kind. None was available back then. He used a stop motion model inspired by some child's wooden geometric 3-D puzzle rrom his childhood and then enhanced this with a layer of animation to simulate digital artifacts produced by the fictional Imaging system and growth phases of Andromeda itself. It was complex and original but still rooted in proven SFX methods. In the print version Crichton explains that much of the equipment of Wildfire Lab is optoelectronic in principle. Hence the microscopic images were transmitted from one equipment module to the next not via wire but by fiber optics. Again I saw this technology for sale in the old Edmunds Scientifics catalog where you could buy lengths of beam or image transmitting cable. So it was genuine.
@@instructinate You mean "Star Trek: The Motionless Picture" (that's the fan nickname). 😉 Followed by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Plot, Star Trek IV: Save the Whales, Star Trek V: Didn't Happen, Star Trek VI: The Apology, etc.
THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD MIGHT BE DULL AND BORING BUT THIS MOVIE IS ANYTHING BUT AND IS A WARNING ABOUT OPENING PANDORA'S BOX AND SCIENCE GOING TOO FAR ! ! !👍

The instrument has a look of realness to it, but I assumed the name might have been fictional. Thanks!

Video needs more comments to drive metrics.
Strait up!
This movie is anything but dull
Directed by Robert Wise, who also directed the slightly dull Star Trek The Motion Picture.

THIS MOVIE IS A WARNING AND I WATCHED IT DURING COVID PANDEMIC TIMES ! ! !👍
