A HOME-MADE REFLECTOSCOPE
Fig. 339.—The Complete Reflectoscope.
Fig. 340.—Detail of Ventilator Top.
This reflecting lantern, shown completed in [Fig. 339], is more magical in its operation than a magic-lantern is, because, instead of projecting through transparent slides, it reflects opaque pictures. That makes it possible to use magazine and newspaper pictures, post cards, and photograph prints. You may reflect a greatly enlarged picture of the movements of your watch, and by placing your face against the opening in the reflectoscope, you may show a view of your mouth opening and closing, giant size. The ease with which slides are obtained makes this a desirable lantern to own.
