- Description
- Square black plastic tool with a clear window in the top and a translucent window on an angle at the front - visible through the top window is an angled mirror, not accessible, so that light can move through the tool. Housed in a cardboard box with several scratched out things written on the lid - only “staples” is legible. The tool could be used to preview slides/negatives by placing them on the translucent window and placing the tool underneath a direct light source such as a lamp. Alternatively, the tool could be used as a precise light focus magnifier during photograph development/enlargement.
