Megascope projection of the human hand
| |
| The Megascope enables projections of untransparent images and photographs. Furthermore, three-dimensional opaque objects, such as a watch with its movement, small flowers or a human hand, appear, with the shades and shadows, like real objects. This illustration was published in a Manual of Experimentation from 1877. | |
