2. Binoculars - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binoculars

   Most compact binoculars feature magnifications of 7× to 10×, and objective diameter sizes of a relatively modest 20 mm to 25 mm, resulting in small exit pupil sizes limiting low light suitability. Roof prism designs tend to be narrower and more compact than equivalent Porro prism designs.

3. 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.

4. 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 ...

5. Porro prism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porro_prism

   Porro prisms are most often used in pairs, forming a double Porro prism. A second prism rotated 90° with respect to the first, is placed such that light will traverse both prisms. The net effect of the prism system is a beam parallel to but displaced from its original direction, with the image rotated 180°. A double Porro system provides four ...

6. Schmidt–Pechan prism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt–Pechan_prism

   A Schmidt–Pechan prism is a type of optical prism used to rotate an image by 180°. These prisms are commonly used in binoculars as an image erecting system. The Schmidt–Pechan prism makes use of a roof prism section (from the German: "Dachkante", lit. roof edge ). Binoculars designs using Schmidt–Pechan prisms can be constructed more ...

   Trinovid is the protected model designation of a roof prism binoculars series from the company Leitz (optics) (since 1986 Leica Camera) based in Wetzlar, a German centre for optics as well as an important location for the precision engineering industry. The Trinovid binoculars were introduced in 1958 based on a patent request filed in 1953 and ...
