Inverting and dispersing prisms
Description
Both the Amici and Porro prisms invert the image and are commonly used in telescopes and binoculars. The equilateral and Pellin-Broca prisms both disperse the spectrum, the equilateral producing a fan of rays of different wavelengths, while for the Pellin-Broca ‘constant deviation’ prism the output is always taken at 90° to the input with the wavelength varying as the prism is rotated: very convenient for monochromator use.
