Multidirectional HOlographic Interferometer (MHOI), a non- invasive diagnostic tool to monitor 3D concentration fields during crystal growth from solution, is applied to study the diffusion fields near the monocrystals of potassium dihydrogen phosphate growing in gel and solution. In contrast with other existing holographic interferometers, MHOI uses optical fibers in six optical circuits, realizing for the first time the hardware of an optical tomograph. The system allows us to obtain the data required to get real 3D reconstruction of diffusion fields.
