35mm slides

Mounted film frames

35mm slides are transparent photographic images mounted in cardboard or plastic frames, designed for projection onto a screen.

The format dominated educational and professional presentations before digital technology, and was popular for home viewing of vacation photos.

A carousel or tray held multiple slides for sequential display.

We spent the evening looking at Grandpa's old slides from Europe.
