Right-angle prisms can be used as 90° reflectors due to total internal reflection (TIR). When light is incident from one right-angle face of the prism, the light will be totally internally reflected at the glass/air interface of the inclined face and emerge from the other right-angle face. Right-angle prisms can deflect the incident light by 90°, so they are very suitable to replace reflectors.

A right-angle prism is an adaptable optical element that finds extensive usage in a range of contexts. Because of its ability to reflect light at precise angles, it is perfect for optical systems' beam steering and redirection. It is also used in imaging instruments to improve clarity and adjust image orientation. Right-angle prisms split light into its component wavelengths for in-depth examination in spectroscopy. They are crucial for precise and dependable performance in scientific research, medical equipment, and advanced engineering projects because of their strong design and excellent optical quality.
