Kinetoscope \Ki*ne"to*scope\, n. [Originally a tradename, 1894.]
An obsolete form of moving picture viewer, in which a film
carrying successive instantaneous views of a moving scene
travels uniformly through the field of a magnifying glass.
The observer sees each picture, momentarily, through a slit
in a revolving disk, and these glimpses, blended by
persistence of vision, give the impression of continuous
motion. It has been superseded by more recent versions of
movie projector and electronic video viewers.

objective lens, and producing by persistence of vision the
illusion of continuous motion; a moving-picture projector;
also, any of several other machines or devices producing
moving pictorial effects. Other older names for the {movie
