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. Please get in touch with us directly for pricing information or details on prisms that might work for your application.
