Light Box

A light box is simply a box shaped container in which a light source is held; normally a fluorescent light bulb. The top side of the light box has a flat semi transparent layer; normally opaque perspex.

A light box is useful for photographers as it enables them to view transparencies or negatives, artists may use a light box to aid tracing an original drawing onto a new surface, and doctors use light boxes to view x-rays.

Light boxes are often expensive to buy in any reasonable size. They can however be easily made at home with the right tools.
