While holography truly constitutes an ingenious concept, ever since its invention by Gabor it has been troubled by the so-called twin-image problem limiting the information that can be obtained from a holographic record. For symmetry reasons there are always two images appearing in the reconstruction of a hologram and the unwanted out of focus twin-image obscures the object. Here we show a universal method of reconstructing a hologram completely free of twin-image disturbances while no assumptions about absorbing or phase shifting properties of the object need to be imposed. Thus, truthful amplitude and phase distributions are retrieved.
