Its contemporary arrowhead roof and triangular proportions could easily have you mistaking it for a tee-pee-style cabin in the Californian outback. “The most striking feature of this house is the roof ...

Roof prisms are right-angle prisms that have a ridge along the hypotenuse, forming two 45-degree angles. They can be used to invert and reverse an image, as well as to deflect light by 90 degrees.

A typical Amici prism consists of two triangular prisms, made of a medium-dispersion crown glass and high-dispersion flint glass, respectively. Both the prisms are in contact with each other.

Dove prism has two applications. The main application is used as a rotator. It can rotate an image but without deviating the beam. And when the prism is rotated about the input parallel ray through ...

Rotate and reverse images and deflect light at 90° bends. Suitable for telescopes and any optical instrument that requires the image to be flipped from the objective, turned over to the right, and ...

The pyramid wavefront sensor (WFS) is becoming an increasingly popular choice as the WFS in adaptive optic systems for the next generation of telescopes. In this paper, we compare the conventional ...
