Frequently Asked Questions

A Dove Prism is a truncated form of right angle prism that uses total internal reflection to produce an inverted image which emerges without any beam deviation.

The main application of Dove Prisms is as image rotators. Rotating the prism about an optical axis results in the image rotating at double the angular velocity of the prism.

It is very important that the incident beam is collimated for optimal performance.

The large reflecting face must be kept very clean for optimal performance of Dove Prisms.

The material used for Dove Prisms is BK7 Glass.
