    Custom Reflection Professional Stable Optical Polygonal Glass Prism

    Prism, in optics, a piece of glass or other transparent material cut with precise angles and plane faces, useful for analyzing and reflecting light. An ordinary triangular prism can separate white light into its constituent colours, called a spectrum.
    Prisms can be made from any clear compound and are generally cut with specially angled facets. The defining optical property of prisms is that they bend light. The material that the prism is made from and the number and angle of the facets affect how light coming through the prism is reflected, refracted and dispersed.

    An optical prism is a solid, transparent optic with flat surfaces which refract light. Light enters through one surface, and may be rotated, deviated, or dispersed before leaving through another surface. These surfaces are highly polished, and the angles between them, the number of surfaces, and the position of them determine the function of the prism.

    Optical prisms

    Optical Prisms are used to redirect light at a designated angle. Optical Prisms are ideal for ray deviation, or for adjusting the orientation of an image. An Optical Prism's design determines how light interacts with it. When light enters an Optical Prism, it either reflects off an individual surface or several surfaces before exiting, or is refracted as it travels through the substrate.
