We describe the implementation of a single shot extreme ultraviolet Fourier transform holography (EUV-FTH) setup. The setup is capable of recording holographic images with a temporal resolution given by the pulse-width of the illuminating laser (1 ns), and has been implemented with the goal of studying the dynamics of intrinsic localized modes (ILM) established in arrays of nano-scale mechanical oscillators. A comprehensive understanding of the ILM dynamics has practical application in the implementation of high sensitivity detectors for target compounds with the potential of achieving single molecule detection.
