Ground glass screen


A sheet of glass that has been ground to a matte finish and is utilized in the process of seeing images captured by large-format cameras. On the screen, the image that is captured by the lens is displayed in an inverted format. Blocking off all of the other light with a dark cloth makes it much simpler to inspect the image and bring it into focus.
