Stereoscope ‘Multicolore’
The Multicolore is supplied with colour filters to alter the tint of glass stereoviews during viewing. The black front panel—with the focus knob positioned between the lenses—is identical to that of Lucien Bize’s Minimus. This construction appears to be a distinctive feature of Bize’s stereoscopes.
An apparently unrelated patent by Jules Marinier from 1864 also describes a stereoscope design incorporating colour filters. The title of the patent includes the term multicolore.
