kaleidoscope: optical device consisting of mirrors that reflect images of bits of coloured glass in a symmetrical geometric design through a viewer. ... The mirrors are enclosed in a tube with a viewing eyehole at one end. At the other end is a thin, flat box that can be rotated ... Some kaleidoscopes dispense with the object box and use a lens to throw images of distant objects on the mirrors, an eyepiece at the viewing eyehole then being an advantage. 1, record 1, English, - viewing%20eyehole

Le kaléidoscope est un tube de carton ou de métal dans lequel sont enfermés deux miroirs plans formant entre eux un angle de 45 degrés, ou, parfois, trois miroirs inclinés à 60 degrés. Des disques de verre ferment les deux extrémités du tube. L'un des disques est utilisé comme oculaire; l'autre laisse passer la lumière et supporte des fragments mobiles de diverses matières [...] Ces fragments se groupent à l'intersection des miroirs et forment des combinaisons et des dessins d'une grande variété. Si l'on tient l'instrument dans une position horizontale et si l'on regarde le fond à travers l'oculaire, on aperçoit une figure géométrique complexe [...] 2, record 1, French, - oculaire
