Product Description
Optical Prism
An optical prism, a transparent object surrounded by two intersecting but not parallel planes, used to divide or disperse light beams and to adjust the direction of an image. It is widely used in optical instruments, such as spectral instruments, periscopes, binoculars and other instruments. Prisms can be subdivided into the following types according to their properties and uses: right Angle prisms, Pentagon prisms, Dowell prisms, rhombic prisms, ridge prisms, Powell prisms, depolarization splitting prisms and so on.
Rhombic prism
A rhombic prism can cause lateral displacement of light after two full reflections, but at the same time does not change the direction of propagation. By coating and gluing can be produced called beam splitting prism or after coating to make a polarization beam splitting prism. At present, rhombic prism is widely used in microscopes and periscopes.
