About This Product
Set at 60° the three mirrors form an equilateral chamber, and turning the gem chamber gives repeating hexagonal patterns as light reflects from each mirror in turn. Changing the hinge to 45° or 90° alters the number of repeated images, which lets students link mirror angle to image count and explore reflection and rotational symmetry. Laboratories and colleges in Yemen, Cabo Verde, Qatar, Venezuela, Grenada and Turkmenistan can buy the Kaleidoscope STEM Lab through an export order.
