    vorgestellt Corner Cube Prism (Retroreflector): Specs & Applications

    A corner cube prism — also called a retroreflector or trihedral prism — has three mutually perpendicular reflecting surfaces meeting at a single point, like the inside corner of a cube. That geometry reflects any incoming beam straight back parallel to its original direction, no matter what angle it arrives at.

    Dove Prism: Image Rotation, Specs & Applications

    A dove prism is a truncated right-angle prism used to invert an image without changing the direction of the beam. Its standout property is rotational: turn the prism around its long axis, and the transmitted image rotates at twice the prism's rotation rate — which makes it a compact, purely optical image rotator. Key Specifications at a Glance Parameter Typical Value Substrate...

    Penta Prism: How It Works, Specs & Applications

    A penta prism is a five-sided prism that deviates a beam by exactly 90°, without inverting or reversing the image. Unlike a right-angle prism, a penta prism keeps that 90° deviation constant even if the prism is slightly misaligned — which is exactly why it shows up in alignment and viewfinder optics. Key Specifications at a Glance Parameter Typical Value Substrate N-BK7,...

    Right-Angle Prism: Specs, Uses & How It Works

    A right-angle prism is a triangular block with two legs at 90° to each other and a hypotenuse connecting them. It's one of the simplest and most widely used prisms, valued for its ability to fold or reverse a beam without the cost or fragility of a coated mirror. Key Specifications at a Glance Parameter Typical Value Substrate N-BK7, UV fused silica...

    Optical Prism Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right Prism

    Optical prisms redirect, invert, rotate, or split light using refraction and reflection rather than a curved surface. Because the same basic block of glass can do very different jobs depending on its geometry, picking the right prism starts with knowing exactly what you need the beam or image to do. Key Specifications at a Glance Parameter Common Options Common substrates N-BK7, UV...
