Description: What is a Dove Prism?
A Dove prism is a type of reflective prism used to invert an image. When the prism is rotated about its longitudinal axis, the image rotates at twice the rate of the prism. This property makes Dove prisms highly useful in applications requiring image rotation without changing the direction of the light path. They are commonly used in optical systems, such as periscopes, beam rotators, and various scientific instruments.
