Dove Prisms
Dove Prisms are invented by H.W. Dove, Dove prisms are used to invert an image. And when the prisms are rotated about the input parallel ray through some angle, the image rotates through twice that angle. Dove Prisms have another application, they are used as a retroreflector. For this application, they perform as a right-angle prism.
