Le Mélanochromoscope is the one-shot three-color camera invented by color photography pioneer Louis Ducos du Hauron.

The camera exposed three small film plates at once, by dividing and redirecting the incoming light by means of two translucent mirrors and one normal mirror. A set of color filters (yellow, red, blue) could be inserted into the camera, causing each plate to be exposed by different color parts of the incoming light.
