Bausch & Lomb Optical Co m p a n y Vertical Attachments We provide several of these attachments for use with our different Balopticons. They afford a number of projection possibilities, permitting one to project large transparencies, liquids and other similar objects which must be placed in a hori- zontal position. The beam of light in each attachment is directed into a vertical course by a mirror placed at an angle of 45° within a dark chamber. A plano-convex con- densing lens is placed in a horizontal mounting on the top of this dark chamber. It serves as a stage upon which to work and focuses the light in the field of the vertical projection lens, which is carried upon an upright support or bed. A mirror above the projection lens directs the image toward the screen. The different attachments and the Balopticons for which they are designed are indicated in the price list below. Attachments for Projecting Opaque Objects The attachments for projecting opaque objects with the Models C and D Balopticons are listed herewith. These attachments are described and illustrated under the respective lanterns for which they are designed. 116
