Method of modifying slide transparencies so as to provide uniform illumination in angular projection

Claim 1

Method for correcting non-uniform illumination in oblique projection of slide transparencies, comprising: A. Modifying a slide transparency of an obliquely positioned object by illuminating the object such that the portion farthest from the camera receives the greatest portion of light and the portion nearest the camera receives the least light; B. Taking a picture such that the slide transparency defines the object being photographed in trapezoidal form with the wider base being the least illuminated and the narrow apex being the greatest illuminated; C. Supporting the modified slide transparency within a projection system; D. Selectively illuminating with an intensified light source by tilted condensing and collimating of light towards said transparency, such that the optical path is narrowed and its axis diverted towards the lower portion of said transparency, such that a greater portion of light is projected through the lower portion of the transparency and a lesser portion of light is projected through the upper portion of the transparency; E. Magnifying the light projected as an image through said transparency; and F. Displaying the image upon an angularly supported viewing screen, such that the farthest portion of the viewing screen receives the greater portion of light and the nearest portion receives the lesser light.
