Abstract: The invention is a kaleidoscope that folds to a substantially flat condition. The kaleidoscope has at least two mirrored surfaces joined one to another, each pair of mirrored surfaces defining a mirrored interior angle of less than 180 degrees. The kaleidoscope may be open on the third side. The kaleidoscope may be attached to folding body members such that when the body members are folded the mirrored surfaces of the kaleidoscope are folded as well. The kaleidoscope may be provided with a wheel, an eyepiece and an eyepiece lens.

Abstract: This invention is a combination lens and teleidoscope/kaleidoscope device for use in creating special photographic effects by enabling the user to take close-up photographs of Kaleidoscopically and Teleidoscopically produced designs. The device is adapted by means of a series of fittings, for attachment to a camera. A turnable mirror tube located within one embodiment of the device, allows a user to control the composition of his photograph without physically moving the camera itself or the design producing element.
