It is also useful as a scientific apparatus for illustrating the optical problem of the multiplication of images produced by reflection, when the object is placed between two plane mirrors inclined at different angles. It of the instrument are as follows: the year of its invention. Some varieties of the instrument are as follows: (1) Polyangular kaleidoscope: Here the reflecting mirrors are so arranged that their angle of inclination can be altered by screws attached to the outside of the tube at pleasure, and it is in this form that the instrument best illustrates largely used for scientific instruction. than four.

(3) Telescopic kaleidoscope: Here the object box is removed and its place taken by a tube capable of being lengthened or shortened by an external screw, and fitted at its end with a double convex lens.
