I saw this post from @Keystone Poultry Farm...

Egg candling is one of the most important and crucial parts of incubation. It is the process of observing the internal structure of an egg through a bright source of light in a very dark room to test the following.

1-Checking on egg fertility...
2-Checking on the position of the yolk and the airspace.
3-Checking on the presence of a double yolk.
4-Checking on any deformities inside the egg.
5Checking on any tiny fractures on the shell that could not be observed otherwise.
6-Checking on the progress of the embryo at different stages of development
