Kaleidoscope,
in Greek:
kalos - beauty + eidos - form + scope - image,
is an appropriate combination of words
that does not end only as such.
It involves a device of particles of multi-colored glass or some
other transparent material between two flat mirrors,
placed at the angle of 60 degrees.
By turning the kaleidoscope, the particles change position, creating
the most diverse
combinations of shapes and colors.
