  2. Deck prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deck_prism

    The deck prism laid flush into the deck, the glass prism refracted and dispersed natural light into the space below from a small deck opening without weakening the planks or becoming a fire hazard. In normal usage, the prism hangs below the overhead and disperses the light sideways; the top is flat and installed flush with the deck, becoming ...

  3. Wedge prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_prism

    The wedge prism is a prism with a shallow angle between its input and output surfaces. This angle is usually 3 degrees or less. Refraction at the surfaces causes the prism to deflect light by a fixed angle. When viewing a scene through such a prism, objects will appear to be offset by an amount that varies with their distance from the prism.

    The symmetric design, however, was difficult to accept for patients, because the eyes in general work asymmetrically. When you look to your right, your right eye views distal (i.e. looking through the lens near to the arm of the spectacles) while your left eye views nasal (i.e. looking through the lens near to the bridge). Modern sophisticated ...

  5. Amici roof prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amici_roof_prism

    An Amici roof prism, named for its inventor, the Italian astronomer Giovanni Battista Amici, is a type of reflecting prism used to deviate a beam of light by 90° while simultaneously inverting the image. It is commonly used in the eyepieces of telescopes as an image erecting system. It is sometimes called an Amici prism or right angle roof ...

  6. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(geometry)

    A twisted prism cannot be dissected into tetrahedra without adding new vertices. The simplest twisted prism has triangle bases and is called a Schönhardt polyhedron. An n-gonal twisted prism is topologically identical to the n-gonal uniform antiprism, but has half the symmetry group: D n, [n,2] +, order 2n. It can be seen as a nonconvex ...

  7. Compound prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_prism

    The double-Amici prism is a symmetric form of the more general triplet prism, in which the apex angles and glasses of the two outer elements may differ (see the figure at right). Although triplet prisms are rarely found in optical systems, their added degrees of freedom beyond the double-Amici design allow for improved dispersion linearity.
