Abstract: A device for simultaneously illuminating objects with light from more than one light source for improved color matching and comparison that includes more than one light source, baffles for separating the light sources and for forming viewing slots, and a platform area in which samples can be simultaneously illuminated on separate portions by each light source.

Abstract: An illumination station for viewing reflection copy images such as documents, photos, and the like having a back-plate against which a reflection copy image is disposed for viewing, one or more overhead light sources disposed in a top member, and a reflector at the base of the back-plate configured to reflect incident light on the lower portion of the back-plate. The use of a reflector provides enhanced illumination to the lower portion of the back-plate and therefore improves the uniformity of illumination of the entire back-plate, and, consequently, of the reflection copy image affixed thereto.
