Penta prism
can deviate an incident beam without inverting or reversing to 90°. The
deviation angle of 90° is independent of any rotation of the prism about
an axis parallel to the line of intersection of the two reflecting faces.
It is commonly used in Plumb Level, Surveying, Alignment, Range finding
and Optical Tooling.
The reflecting
surfaces of this Prism must be coated with a metallic or dielectric
coating. The standard Penta Prism reflecting surfaces are coated with
aluminum or enhanced aluminum.
