Data Sheet
Porro prism is a type of reflection prism which can be used to alter the orientation of an image. Light enters the large face of the prism, then hits on the roof, by total internal reflection twice from the roof, the beam exits again through the large face. An image traveling through a Porro prism is rotated by 180deg but not inverted.

Frequently Asked Questions

When selecting a prism, you should consider factors such as the material, surface quality, angle precision, and environmental stability. The selection criteria depend on the desired function and the specific application requirements.

Prisms can be made from various materials such as glass, crystal, plastic, and infrared materials. The choice of material depends on the desired optical properties and the application requirements.

Prisms have various applications in optical systems, such as optical imaging, spectroscopy, laser beam steering, and polarization control. They are essential components in many scientific, industrial, and medical applications.

A right-angle prism has two perpendicular faces, while a corner cube has three mutually perpendicular faces. Right-angle prisms are often used to reflect light at 90 degrees, while corner cubes can reflect light back to its source regardless of its incident angle.

Prisms are used in optical microscopy to direct light onto a sample, control the polarization of light, and perform spectral imaging. They are crucial components for generating high-quality images in microscopy applications.

Surface quality is crucial in prism selection because it determines the accuracy and precision of the reflected or refracted light. Surface imperfections such as scratches, digs, and coatings can cause unwanted light scattering, absorption, and reflection, leading to degraded system performance.

The optimal prism selection depends on your application's specific requirements, such as the wavelength range, beam diameter, angle accuracy, and environmental conditions. FindLight offers a wide range of prisms from various suppliers and manufacturers to ensure that you can find the right product for your application.
