7 is produced by the reflective viewing channel in which image 60 provides a first left image 65 and a first right image 66. The real image is thereupon multiplied and the image as depicted in FIG. 5 the upper and lower mirror surfaces 41 and 42 and side mirror surfaces 42 and 43 provide reflective surfaces and apertures 44 and 46 are open to admit light coming through color wheel 19 so as to provide a real image. 5, it can be seen that when the interior viewing channel is seen as depicted in FIG. The instant invention is directed to all these needs as well as to others as explained in the following summary. A kaleidoscope of such a design should be not subject to damage by proper use and should be enclosed in a cabinet itself having a high level of aesthetic quality commensurable with the pleasing images produced within the kaleidoscope. Such a kaleidoscope should be uncomplicated in design, mounted on a pedestal at a comfortable viewing angle, having selectively rotatable color wheels, and capable of admitting image producing light from multiple angles. Accordingly, a need exists for a binocular kaleidoscope with a viewing system having interchangeable image producing color wheels. Very few devices in the known art relate to kaleidoscopes which are capable of being viewed with both eyes simultaneously and none known are directed to providing a binocular kaleidoscope in which the images produced can be simultaneously viewed by both eyes. Such a kaleidoscope would provide for simultaneous binocular viewing of the images produced and yet be capable of producing multiple images. The ideal kaleidoscope would provide binocular viewing whereby a light source could be obtained from more than one angle and such a kaleidoscope would be mounted on a base at a comfortable viewing angle.
