Abstract: A stereopticon lantern (2) is fitted to one per se known color photocopying machine (1) operating by utilizing a photochemical process, so as the diapositive is projected onto the same reproduction screen (15) thereof, thus obtaining a double possibility of reproduction. The color photocopying machine (1) to which said stereopticon lantern (2) can be fitted comprises a horizontal shooting plane (11) constituted by a thoroughly transparent glass plate onto which the image to be reproduced is put, which image is illuminated below by adequate lamps (12) and the so illuminated image is horizontally reflected by a mirror (13) disposed at a 45.degree. angle inclined beneath said shooting plane and is projected, through a relative optical control unit (14), onto a vertical screen (15) constituted by a photosensitive paper sheet (16), obtained from a band wound about a respective roller (17).
