Description

The variety of shapes of prisms realize a myriad of different functions. Right-angle, penta, dove, porro or rhomboid prisms are a common, but only small part of the various prisms that are used. Roughly speaking, prisms can be divided into five different groups. Dispersion prisms are designed to disperse the light. Displacement prisms are intended to produce a parallel displacement of the beam from the entry point to the required exit point and thus maintain the direction of the beam. Deviation prisms bend the beam. Reverse prisms invert the image and rotation prisms are intended to rotate the generated image around a specific axis. It is of course possible to unite and combine several functions of these prisms. Prisms achieve this effect by the light entering the optical prism at one surface and striking one or more boundary surfaces (depending on the shape of the prism) on the inside, where it is reflected again.
