21Nicol prism — A Nicol prism A Nicol prism is a type of polarizer, an optical device used to produce a polarized beam of light from an unpolarized beam. See polarized light. It was the first type of polarizing prism to be invented, in 1828 by William Nicol… …
22Dichroic prism — A trichroic prism assembly A dichroic prism is a prism that splits light into two beams of differing wavelength (colour). They are usually constructed of one or more glass prisms with dichroic optical coatings that selectively reflect or transmit …
23Glan-Taylor prism — A Glan Taylor prism is a type of prism which is used as a polarizer or polarizing beam splitter.cite book |last=Bennett |first=Jean M . |editor=Bass, Michael, Ed. |title=Handbook of Optics Volume II |edition=2nd ed. |year=1995 |publisher=McGraw… …
24Wedge prism — The wedge prism is an optical element typically made of glass ground at slight angles to refract light passing through it from the smaller width side of the prism to the thicker width side of the prism. By refracting the light, the wedge prism… …
25Glan-Foucault prism — A Glan Foucault prism (also called a Glan air prism) is a type of prism which is used as a polarizer. It is similar in construction to a Glan Thompson prism, except that two right angled calcite prisms are spaced with an air gap instead of… …
26Dove prism — A Dove prism is a type of reflective prism which is used to invert an image. Dove prisms are shaped from a truncated right angle prism. A beam of light entering one of the sloped faces of the prism undergoes total internal reflection from the… …
27Wollaston prism — A Wollaston prism is an optical device, invented by William Hyde Wollaston, that manipulates polarized light. It separates randomly polarized or unpolarized light into two orthogonal, linearly polarized outgoing beams.The Wollaston prism consists …

29Abbe-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… …
30Abbe prism — In optics, an Abbe prism, named for its inventor, the German physicist Ernst Abbe, is a type of constant deviation dispersive prism similar to a Pellin Broca prism. tructureThe prism consist of a block of glass forming a right prism with 30° 60°… …
