Frequently Asked Questions

A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. At least two of the flat surfaces must have an angle between them.

The prisms can be made from materials such as BK7, FS, UVFS, or others.

The types of prisms mentioned include wedge prisms, Dove prisms, Penta prisms, right-angle prisms, and corner cubes.

For standard prisms, the dimension tolerance is +0.0/-0.2mm, and for high precision prisms, it is +0.0/-0.1mm.

The surface quality is 60-40 S-D for standard prisms and 40-20 S-D for high precision prisms.

The deviation tolerance is ±3 arcmin for standard prisms and ±1 arcmin for high precision prisms.

The prisms are uncoated by default, but coatings are available upon request.
