Dove prism

Dove prism

Reversing prism made of high-quality PMMA (acrylic glass), named after its inventor, the physicist and meteorologist Heinrich W. Dove (1803 - 1879).
Due to its trapezoidal cross-section, it is optimised for image reversal by total reflection, in contrast to rectangular prisms, whose upper half (the "roof tip") is not involved in this process. In the case of image reversal by total reflection, only the two oblique surfaces and the underside of the prism are optically effective.

  • Dimensions: 8.3 x 3.5 x 2 cm (L/W/D)
  • Prism made of acrylic glass: main angle: 90°, angle of entry and exit: 45


The sides are sawed, as they are not involved in the optical function.
