Kaleidoscope's play and fun

Kaleidoscope is to have fun by observing the colorful world inside. Kaleidoscope is an optical toy. Just look into the tube and a beautiful "flower" will appear. Turn it a little and another flower pattern will appear. Constantly rotating, the pattern is constantly changing, so it is called "kaleidoscope".

The kaleidoscope is reflected by the glass mirror. It is a prism composed of three glass mirrors, and then some glass fragments of various colors are placed at one end. These fragments will be reflected by three glass mirrors and appear symmetrical patterns, which look like blooming flowers.

Kaleidoscope was born in Scotland in the19th century and was invented by a physicist who studied optics. Two or three years later, it spread to China and Japan almost at the same time.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, many toys from China entered Japan, including kaleidoscopes. At that time, as a game using optics, it was fresh and interesting, and kaleidoscope became a signature toy for candy stores to attract children. At the same time, because the kaleidoscope typically reflects the reflection of the mirror, it is quoted by the school as a teaching material and widely circulated.
