A light table is a flat surface with internal illumination, used for viewing transparent or translucent materials.
Photographers use them to examine negatives and slides.
Artists and designers trace images by placing paper over illuminated originals.
Doctors view X-rays on them.
Also called a light box, though light tables are typically horizontal while light boxes may be vertical.
