Put your eye up to the eyepiece of our Kaleidoscope and prepare yourself for a beautiful display. This Kaleidoscope uses principles of light like refraction and reflection to produce a visual like none you've ever seen. As light travels through the liquid that contains tiny golden and green beads and confetti, it is reflected and refracted to generate the stunning image that you see through the eyepiece.

What's included?

  • Kaleidoscope main tube
  • Color chamber

How does it work?

Using principles of multiple reflections and light refraction, the tube of mirrors takes the colorful light waves from the color chamber and creates the gorgeous image you see through the eyepiece. This particular Kaleidoscope will not work in a dark room and will work best in a well lighted room or outside on a sunny day.

What does it teach?

Kaleidoscope isn't just a pretty picture in a mirrored tube. Kaleidoscope is a great visual teaching tool that demonstrates the beauty and properties of reflecting and refracting light waves and the movement of solids within a liquid.
