BK7 and Fused Silica Glass Dove Prisms
The Dove prism, invented by H.W. Dove, is also called an inverting prism. When rotated about its long axis, the image viewed through it rotates at twice the prism rotation rate. This distinctive prism is sometimes used in specialized applications. Both entrance and exit surfaces have antireflection coatings.
