Optical Dove Prisms
China [CN] A Optical Dove prism is a truncated version of a right-angle prism, used as a reflective prism inverting the image. It will create an image that is twice the angle of your rotation.
Dove prisms are a type of optical prism that offers a unique geometric configuration that can invert images by 180 degrees. These prisms are made using optical glass and feature a special shape that includes a 90-degree roof angle. This provides the Dove prism with its unique properties where it can invert images and rotate them by 180 degrees.
In addition to its unique image inversion properties, Dove prisms also offer the ability to reflect light internally. This is due to the prism's roof angle, which allows the light to be reflected back onto itself. This internal reflection results in minimal light loss and high image quality.
One of the significant benefits of Dove prisms is their ability to rotate the image without physically moving the prism. This can be accomplished by using a Dove prism rotator that is designed for this purpose. The rotator can be added to the Dove prism to allow for smooth and precise rotation of the image by up to 360 degrees. This makes Dove prisms particularly useful in applications where a fixed camera position is required.
