Abstract

This invention is a portable hand operated viewer for micro-fiches and other material with writing too small to be read by the unaided eye. A translucent table has a clamp for the reading matter and that carries an adjustable binocular lens unit, with a head piece for correct location and for movement to scan the table. It is cheap and can be assembled by a child and is suitable for use in schools.
