Lights designed to provide illumination to the working board of a photographic station. These lights should provide a level of illumination according to the application (e.g., pathology laboratory); the lights frequently provide steady illumination (e.g., incandescent bulbs, LEDs) or high-frequency fluorescent light to avoid flickering. Xenon lamps are also used to provide illumination for flash photography (e.g., for moving objects). Most photographic lights are mounted on a frame that allows vertical and horizontal movement and/or also variations in the angle related to the photographic board of the light fixtures (i.e., lamps). Photographic station lights usually are capable of providing one or more of the illumination types needed, including top-light, back-light, and shadow-less; lights with special attachments (e.g., dark field and/or filters) may provide dark-field and polarized illumination.
