An opaque projector is similar to overhead projectors used in classrooms throughout the country. Because opaque projectors reflect light they must use brighter and larger light bulbs than a normal overhead projector. An opaque projector takes an opaque object and through a system of internal prisms and mirrors, the object that is set under the opaque projector for viewing is shown enlarged onto a screen, a wall or an easel for easy tracing.
