| has gloss | eng: A Dove prism is a type of reflective prism which is used to invert an image. Dove prisms are shaped from a truncated right-angle prism. A beam of light entering one of the sloped faces of the prism undergoes total internal reflection from the inside of the longest (bottom) face and emerges from the opposite sloped face. Images passing through the prism are flipped, and because only one reflection takes place, the image is inverted but not laterally transposed. |

| has gloss | spa: Un prisma de Dove es un tipo de prisma óptico reflectivo empleado para invertir una imagen. Su nombre se debe a su inventor, Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. Consiste en un prisma triangular en ángulo recto truncado. La luz al entrar por uno de los extremos se refleja en la faceta del fondo por un proceso de reflexión interna total y sale por la opuesta. Dado que la imagen sólo se refleja una vez ésta, además de rotarse 180º se invierte. |

| has gloss | zho: 達夫稜鏡是反射稜鏡的一種,名稱來自發明者達夫,外形像是被削去頂角的直角稜鏡,常用於將影像反轉。光線由其中一個斜面進入之後,會在最長的底面產生全反射,然後由相對的另一個斜面射出。因為僅發生一次全反射,所以影像的偏手性會被改變,因而使得影像被反轉。 |
