An optical device used as a drawing aid by artists and microscopists. It projects an optical superimposition of the object/scene being viewed onto the surface upon which the artist is drawing. The artist sees both the object/scene and drawing surface simultaneously, as in a photographic double exposure; thus, the artist can trace the object/scene online with great accuracy and precision.
