Meaning Of Phenakistoscope
n.
A revolving disk on which figures drawn in
different relative attitudes are seen successively, so as to produce
the appearance of an object in actual motion, as an animal leaping,
etc., in consequence of the persistence of the successive visual
impressions of the retina. It is often arranged so that the figures may
be projected upon a screen.
