(Wirth's) mirror tachistoscope

(Spiegeltachistoskop (nach Wirth))
Description: This is a device designed to present a larger visual stimulus for a very short adjustable exposure time by using a complex mirror-optical system. This seems like a knock-off of the model created by Erdmann and Dodge (1899). (Expanded caption Copyright 1998, Edward J. Haupt)
