  2. Abbe–Koenig prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbe–Koenig_prism

    An Abbe–Koenig prism is a type of reflecting prism, used to invert an image (rotate it by 180°). They are commonly used in binoculars and some telescopes for this purpose. The prism is named after Ernst Abbe and Albert Koenig . The prism is made from two glass prisms, which are optically cemented together to form a symmetric, shallow Vee ...

  4. Uppendahl prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uppendahl_prism

    An Uppendahl prism [1] is an erecting prism, i.e. a special reflection prism that is used to invert an image (rotation by 180°). The erecting system consists of three partial prisms made of optical glass with a high refractive index cemented together to form a symmetric assembly and is [2] used in microscopy as well as in binoculars technology.

  5. Roof prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_prism

    Roof prism. A roof pentaprism used in Single-lens reflex cameras; the lower right face is the roof ( dach ). A roof prism, also called a Dachkanten prism or Dach prism (from German: Dachkante, lit. "roof edge"), is a reflective prism containing a section where two faces meet at a 90° angle, resembling the roof of a building and thus the name.

  6. Perger prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perger_prism

    Perger prism. A Perger prism or Perger–Porro prism system is a prism, that is used to invert (rotate by 180°) an image. The special feature of this prism is that, like a traditional double Porro prism system, it manages this with only four beam deflections and has neither a roof edge with the accompanying phase correction problems, a ...

  7. Prism (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Prism (optics) An optical prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that are designed to refract light. At least one surface must be angled — elements with two parallel surfaces are not prisms. The most familiar type of optical prism is the triangular prism, which has a triangular base and rectangular sides.

    The System for Differential Corrections and Monitoring ( SDCM ), is the satellite-based navigation augmentation system operated by Russia's Roscosmos space agency to augment the precision of the GLONASS satellite navigation system. [1] It uses the Luch Multifunctional Space Relay System to transmit correction data.
