What is an Equilateral Prism?
An equilateral prism is an optical element with three equal sides and equal angles (each angle is 60 degrees). It is mainly used to decompose composite light into spectral components of different wavelengths. It is widely used in spectral analysis, optical instruments, etc. field.
Features
Efficient dispersion capability, precise dispersion effect, wide application fields, high transmittance, easy customization, stable performance, easy installation and use.
How to make an equilateral prism?
The production process of equilateral prisms includes material preparation, cutting, polishing, coating and other steps. Equilateral prisms can be customized in different sizes, angles and materials based on specific application requirements.
Applications
Spectral analysis, optical instruments, photography and film production, biomedical research, environmental monitoring, teaching and demonstration, scientific research, industrial testing and quality control
Note
When using an equilateral prism, you need to be careful to avoid strong mechanical impact and high temperature environments to avoid damaging the prism. When cleaning prisms, you should use specialized optical cleaners and soft wipes; avoid using chemical solvents or harsh wipes.
