Kaleidoscope Mandala Images - 2 Mirrors
Visually, mandalas are a circle made with a geometric pattern surrounded by a solid background. Kaleidoscope mandala images are usually based on an isosceles triangle, with the bottom side of the triangle being a non-reflective material. Therefore instead of having 3 mirrors, mandalas are created with two mirrors. As the apex (top) angle gets tighter/smaller the number of reflections of the mirrors increase. This can be seen by the number of "points" in the image getting larger.
The combination of eye-piece size and mirror width limits the number of points that can be displayed in a kaleidoscope. Eleven points is the largest I'm willing to go with my standard sized scope.
All of the slides shown below use an isosceles triangle. Each slide is taken with a kaleidoscope set at a different angle. Multiple images are shown from the same kaleidoscope on the slide.
