Product Positioning
The Paper Conservation Light Table is a transmitted-light worktable for paper and cultural heritage conservation. It supports close observation of paper structure, tears, losses, joins and alignment during hands-on treatment.
Product Overview
The illuminated work surface provides even light through paper-based materials so conservators can identify damage, align fragments, trace shapes and carry out infill and mending work with greater visual control.
Its modular configuration can be adapted to the object, treatment workflow, room dimensions and operator requirements in a conservation laboratory.
Conservation Functions
Transmitted-Light Observation
Even illumination supports inspection of fibres, tears, losses, joins, watermarks and other structural details.
Tracing & Alignment
The illuminated surface helps align fragments, overlays, tracings, manuscripts, paintings and calligraphy.
Infill & Mending Work
Clear visibility through the sheet supports positioning of repair tissues, infills and joins during treatment.
Adjustable Illumination
Stepless dimming allows the light level to be adapted to the material and conservation task.
Stable Work Surface
The glass work surface provides a flat, cleanable area for examination and treatment.

Transmitted-Light Conservation Module
Application
Suitable for observation, tracing, alignment, infill, mending and mounting of archives, manuscripts, rare books, paintings, calligraphy and other paper-based cultural heritage.
Structure & Lighting
The light table uses a tempered-glass work surface with UV-printed markings and three-sided millimeter scales. A digital touch controller adjusts LED matrix-panel backlighting; the work surface is adjustable from 0° to 50°. The standard 12 V, 90 W system provides up to 3000 lux at 5500–6400 K.
