ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a novel transparency viewer in which transparency images are viewed sequentially by movement of a viewing member rather than by movement of the images. It provides a transparency viewer comprising a screen for mounting an array of transparency images, e.g. in a grid pattern, and a viewing member movable over the array by way of guides for viewing any selected said image of the array. In one type of embodiment transparencies are held firm over the screen and the viewing member can move from transparency to transparency by way of guides mounted on the screen. In one such case, each transparency is located on the screen by an individual carrier module which is engaged (preferably detachably) with the screen to provide in combination with the screen and adjacent like carrier module(s) the guides by way of which the viewing member moves over the transparencies; different size screens may be provided for accepting one or any desired greater number of rows of carrier modules. The viewing member is preferably disengageable from the guides. A preferred viewing member according to the invention comprises a magnifying lens mounted in an upper frame from which supporting legs descend through a lower frame to feet adapted to engage with the guides for the said movement of the viewing member over the array. The viewing member is preferably constructed so as to be erectable from and dismountable back to a more compact form.
