Happily, the tools needed in place of the project are not too exotic. A loupe and light box are all that is necessary to properly view your slides. An inexpensive loupe will tell you more than the best slide projector. A seven or eight power loupe is most common. The four power type is popular with photo editors.
Light boxes come in all shapes and flavors.
They should feature 5000 K. bulbs and even illumination. I have several of these boxes for use in classes. More expensive boxes feature higher CRI figures and better light uniformity. Check the Calumet and Light Impressions catalogs for several choices of loupes and light boxes. If you shoot slides, nothing will help more than a loupe and light box.
