If you peek into where the exhaust pipe ought to be you will be treated to a fairly pleasing sight.

The Image Wheel creates a rotating image chamber for your kaleidoscope by joining two glass wheels on either side of a grooved chrome wheel. This design allows you to make a finished image generator in a matter of minutes, to create beautiful images! Gems are not included in this ensemble but the axle pack is. The Image Wheel glues together in minutes (epoxy works well) or can be foiled and soldered together and can be filled with scraps of glass, beads, jewels, or just about anything. The package includes one 2.5" chrome ring (9/16" wide), 2 glass wheels that fit in the grooved inner ring, and a complete axle assembly. It mounts easily on the axle of Clarity’s Mini-Scope, Spiral-Scope, and Aeroscope, or can be mounted on your own kaleidoscope designs. The Image Wheel can be filled with Clarity’s Classic or Assorted Kaleido-Gems.
