Roof Prism
W hat I s R oof P rism ? The roof or Amici prism deviates or deflects the image through an angle of 90 degrees. It is a right-angle prism whose hypotenuse has been replaced by a 90-degree TIR roof. Glass that does not contribute to the clear aperture has been trimmed away to reduce size and weight. Description Of Roof Prism Ecoptik Roof Prism is made from N-BK7, an RoHS compliant version of BK7, and can be used when a right angle deflection of an image or laser beam is required. In passing through the prism, the image is both deflected right-to-left and top-to-bottom. The hypotenuse of the custom optical prism utilizes total internal reflection (TIR) to reflect the image through the prism. Polarization states may become rotated during reflection.
