What is a Right Angle Prism?
A Right Angle Prism is a solid optical prism designed to deflect or reflect a light beam by 90 degrees. It uses total internal reflection or reflective coating to change the light path while maintaining image quality and beam stability.
How does a Right Angle Prism work?
A Right Angle Prism works by allowing light to enter through one face and reflect internally at the hypotenuse surface. The reflected beam exits at a right angle relative to the incident beam.
