Abstract
A microfiche reader providing varying optical paths of projection of a microfiche image. Variable hood means provide self-contained viewing, or projection of the image on a screen, wall or ceiling. The light source for the reader may be removed and readily replaced without the operator touching the sensitive lamp. Dual image forming floating lenses having a universal focusing system provide multiple magnification capabilities with uniform focusing in all positions of the microfiche. Additional means prevent chipping of the glass plates holding the microfiche when the floating lenses are removed from contact with the glass plates.
