Tray-Stereoscope ‘Stéréo-Classeur’, Luxe
A bakelite tray containing 25 glass slides can be inserted by flipping down the front of the viewer. Then, by depressing the lever on the right side of the housing, one slide after another can be examined. On the left side of the viewer, there is a counter which indicates the number of the slide and allows navigation to a specific slide. There is also a smaller lever on the left which brings a mirror into position allowing the slide title to be read through the right ocular.
The base of the viewer contains three drawers with four trays each, making it possible to store a total of 300 slides.
