A Penta Prism is a five-sided reflective prism used to scatter a light beam by 90 °. The beam reflects twice inside the prism, allowing an image to be transmitted through a right angle without inverting it (i.e., without altering the handiness of the image) as an ordinary right-angle prism would. For optimum performance in the ultraviolet (UV), visible, or infrared (IR) spectrums, z-optics provides a selection of Penta Prisms.
In addition, we provide half Penta prism. Without flipping or reversing the image, it is used to shift the line of sight by 45°. It is frequently used in telescopes and also has uses in geodesy, microscope tubes, projection and image systems, and Penta prism, half-Penta prism, and precision prism are all products that we manufacture in China. Please get in touch with us directly for pricing information or details on prisms that might work for your application.
