A roof prism is a remarkable optical engineering device that consists of two right-angled prisms connected at their longest faces. This arrangement makes it possible to create a lightweight, portable structure that effectively reflects and inverts pictures. Roof prisms, which offer a streamlined design and excellent image quality, are frequently used in binoculars and spotting scopes. They are perfect for both amateur and professional optical applications because of their precise alignment, which guarantees low light loss and high-resolution viewing.
