Prisms

A prism is an optical element of a transparent material in the form of a geometric body having flat, polished edges through which light enters and emerges. The light in the prism is refracted. The most important characteristic of the prism is the refractive index of the material from which it is made, the accuracy of the angles, the resolution.

The material used is mineral optical glass, quartz glass, Cerodur, Sitall.

Types of prisms:

rectangular prisms
roof prisms
blocks of prism
oblique angled prisms
pentaprism
octagons
rhombic prism
hexagon
beam splitting cubes
light reflective prisms, trippel-prisms (retroreflectors)
3-mirror and 4-mirror prisms-lenses (analogs of prisms according to Goldman and Van Beuningen)
