An arm containing optical elements can be swung into and out of the optical path to transmit the image contained on the slide or film strip to the optical path as desired. Rotation of the image can be achieved either by means of a thumb wheel connected to the slide holder whereby the slide itself can be rotated or by rotation of an optical prism assembly forming part of the optical elements in the arm.
