Dove Prism
Dove prisms are reflective prisms used to invert an image. Light entering one of the sloped faces undergoes total internal reflection from the inside of the longest face and emerges from the opposite sloped face.
Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Precision Optical Image Inversion
The Dove Prism is a specialized reflective prism designed for image inversion and beam deviation in optical systems. Manufactured from high-grade optical glass, this truncated right-angle prism effectively flips images along a single axis, making it essential for applications in microscopy, imaging, and optical instrumentation. Its design ensures high transmission and minimal beam displacement, providing reliable performance for demanding optical setups.
