An 4mm Prism Target is a transparent, typically glass or acrylic, solid object with flat surfaces that are angled relative to each other. Prisms bend light through refraction, altering the light's path based on its angle of entry and the refractive index of the material. The geometry of the prism allows for several types of light manipulation.

Types of Optical Prisms:

• Triangular Prism: The most common prism, usually made from glass or other optical materials, with three flat surfaces. It is often used for splitting white light into its component colors (dispersion) or for reflecting light at a specific angle.
• Penta Prism: A five-sided prism used for deflecting light by 90°, often used in surveying instruments (like total stations) for ensuring correct orientation of the instrument.
• Right-Angle Prism: Commonly used for total internal reflection, directing light at a 90° angle without loss of light intensity. It's used in optical devices like cameras and periscopes.
• Dove Prism: A rotating prism that can invert or rotate images, often used in optical experiments or devices requiring image rotation.
