A Kaleidoscope of colours....
Smile on Saturday - Optical Instruments
Initially, I thought this would be a cool choice for the optical instrument challenge this week. I quickly learned how difficult it is to photograph inside a kaleidoscope - I experimented with a few different lenses that did not get the result I wanted (nothing new there then!!) I then 'phoned a friend' (my brother Steve) who suggested trying my smartphone camera and also offered to bring round his usb endoscope to see if that may work!! The endoscope did ok but the smartphone won hands down!!

(A kaleidoscope is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces (or mirrors) tilted to each other at an angle, so that one or more (parts of) objects on one end of these mirrors are shown as a regular symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to repeated reflection)
