About MeAldis epidiascope visual aid used for in teaching nurses in departments or classrooms at the City Hospital.

An epidiascope shines an intense light through slides or samples and uses mirrors and lenses to project the image onto a wall. Epidiascopes can get extremely hot because they require much stronger bulbs than the more familar overhead projector.
