The lightbox is handy and has a very uniform illumination, which corresponds to that of sunlight. With it, you can look at individual slides or take a picture. Of course, the photographing presupposes an appropriate macro lens or lens with eg geeingneter conversion lens. I use it also for photographing of old photographic plates from the night of times, which I then use photo software (Gimp) umwandele in surprisingly good SW photos. The lightbox is less suitable because of its small size for sorting. It can be powered by batteries or operate but with a more than available Elektrohandel commercial power supply.
