  7. Binoculars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binoculars

    Roof prism designs tend to be narrower and more compact than equivalent Porro prism designs. Thus, compact binoculars are mostly roof prism designs. The telescope tubes of compact binoculars can often be folded closely to each other to radically reduce the binocular's volume when not in use, for easy carriage and storage.

Even when the double vision images ...
