Dove Prism are usually made of optical glass and have the simple shape of a right-angled triangular prism. Light is reflected twice inside the prism, rotating the image 180° without reversing it left to right.
In optical systems, they are often used to change the optical path direction and adjust image orientation, and are widely used in instruments such as telescopes and microscopes to optimize imaging quality and optical path arrangement.

Fuzhou, ChinaBK7 and Fused Silica Glass Dove Prisms
Dove Prism have two main applications:
1. As an image rotator: a dove prism rotates an image without deviating the beam. When the prism is rotated about the optical axis by a given angle, the image rotates through twice that angle. The prism must be used with a parallel (collimated) beam, and the large reflective surface must be kept very clean.
2. As a retroreflector: in this application, it behaves like a right-angle prism.
