Type of illumination:

possible to use it with slides as a "steal the light" viewer (as long as the
light you steal is already diffused).

Mostly metal. The lenses are glass, and the clamp that connects the holder to the
frame (and allows focusing by sliding) is made of perspex (or some such plastic).

new. It is consists of a folding metal frame that support a sliding Holder , and to the
top of which is clamped a metal plate that holds the lenses.
Focusing is accomplished by sliding the "Card" Holder up or down
the frame.
Construction comments:
Extreamly simply construction consisting of only 4 parts, that all come apart for
easier storage.
