    Light boxes are the way to go for small items. There are many simple designs around...the one you posted is very nice. I tried this one a year or so ago and it worked well.

    My daughter is an interior designer/architect and had a bunch of the white foamboard laying around. Instead of clip-on light fixtures I used Ottlight full spectrum lamps. It was easy to make and I liked the results.
