SO-P03 SERIES
SO-P03 K9 roof prisms combine beam folding with image reversal through two orthogonal roof faces. They are used in viewing systems, telescopes and compact image-erecting optical paths.
Product Overview

Engineering Guidance
Choose the prism around beam geometry and angular accuracy
Optical behavior
The model data includes A, B and C dimensions, clear aperture, roof-angle error and pyramidal error. These angular errors directly influence image quality and beam pointing, so they must be evaluated with the system resolution requirement.
Selection and handling
Center the beam on the roof line and protect the roof edge from contact; small defects or decenter at this feature can produce visible image artifacts.
Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?
Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
