Description from the seller
Medical apparatus - Vintage Medical X-Ray Viewer / Illuminator ("Negatoscope") — Chrome Top Bar with Film Clips — Poland, Mid-20th century
A genuine vintage hospital X-ray light box (negatoscope), originally used by doctors and radiologists to view and diagnose from X-ray film. The large frosted glass panel illuminates evenly from within, with a polished chrome top bar housing the original switches, dial, and sprung film-holding clips for mounting multiple X-ray films side by side. Shown lit and in full working order, displaying original vintage X-ray films for illustration.
Features:
Panel: Large frosted/opal glass illuminating panel, even edge-to-edge light spread
Top bar: Polished chrome control bar with power switch, brightness/intensity dial, and sprung clips for securing X-ray films
Wiring: Wired and in working order — recommend inspection by a qualified electrician before continuous use
Style: Genuine vintage hospital/clinical diagnostic equipment
Condition: Good vintage condition — natural yellowing to the panel edges and light surface marks to the chrome consistent with genuine clinical use (see photos); illuminates evenly and fully functional
Origin: Poland
Period: Mid-20th century
A fantastic authentic piece of medical history — perfect as a genuinely working light box for displaying photographs, artwork, or X-rays, or as a striking decorative/curiosity piece for a medical-themed interior, studio, or collection.
