Dove prisms are image rotators. After light passes through this prism, the image is inverted 180°. In addition, when the prism is rotated about its optical axis, the image rotation angle is twice the prism rotation angle.

Metal-coated dove prisms can replace retroreflectors. Dove prisms can be considered as right-angle prisms with the excess right-angle parts removed, which reduces the weight of the prism and the internal reflection of stray light.
Dove prism may also be used in a variety of optical devices such as cameras, projectors, fingerprint scanners, accumulators, rangefinders, viewfinders, mechanical sights, etc., all of which may require the use of prisms to change the light path or achieve specific optical effects.
