Description
This rhombic Dove prism is precision ground and polished to rotate an image by 180 degrees while keeping the transmitted beam path compact. Felix Glass Co., Limited supplies drawing-based dimensions, uncoated parts, and optional high-reflection mirror-coated surfaces for optical alignment, interferometry, laboratory imaging, and instrument integration. A Dove prism inverts an image after one internal reflection. When the prism rotates around its optical axis, the observed image rotates at twice the prism angle. This behavior makes the component useful where image orientation must be changed without adding a multi-element relay assembly. System performance depends on entrance angle, material, surface quality, prism geometry, and any reflective coating. Final dimensions and tolerances should therefore be reviewed against the optical path and mounting design. The following values preserve the original product specification and are provided as a project reference. Confirm production tolerances for the required size, coating, wavelength, and quantity. Drawing-based dimensions and tolerances can be reviewed for prototypes, replacement parts, and repeat production. Use an uncoated prism when appropriate, or request a reflective coating based on wavelength and system requirements. The prism supports image inversion and rotation without requiring a long multi-lens image relay. Image-orientation control in calibration fixtures and compact optical benches. Optical measurement equipment where image inversion or controlled rotation is part of the system design. Research imaging paths, beam-rotation platforms, and experimental optical assemblies. Miniature sensing, spectroscopy, and custom optical modules with restricted installation space. Felix Glass Co., Limited supports OEM, ODM, and OBM processing for custom side length, geometry, surface requirements, and coating. For an engineering review, provide the prism drawing, optical material, wavelength range, coated faces, surface-quality requirement, angular tolerance, clear aperture, quantity, and inspection needs. Confirm drawing, material, wavelength, tolerance, coating, and quantity. Review grinding, polishing, edge treatment, coating, and inspection requirements. Arrange the agreed sample or batch route and control the specified dimensions. Check the agreed optical and mechanical criteria before clean packaging. Inspection scope should match the system risk and drawing. Common review points include material confirmation, dimensions, angle, surface quality, flatness, clear aperture, coating appearance, and optical performance. Share any required test method or report format when requesting a quotation. No. In the standard operating principle, the image rotation is twice the mechanical rotation angle of the Dove prism. Yes. The original product supports an uncoated option as well as an optional high-reflection mirror coating. Send the drawing, dimensions, material, wavelength, coating faces, tolerances, quantity, and inspection requirements. Yes. Drawing-based side length and related mechanical requirements can be reviewed for custom production. Send your drawing and optical requirements to Felix Glass Co., Limited. The team can review N-BK7 geometry, tolerances, coating, quantity, and inspection needs before quotation.
