A roof prism is a transparent optical marvel that comprises a segment where two faces meet at an angle of 90°, resembling the roof of a house and inspiring the name of this exceptional feature. This unique design allows the reflection of the two 90° faces to return an image that is laterally flipped around the axis where the faces meet, ensuring top-notch image inversion and precise orientation adjustments.
