Description

NESTLE Double penta prism with case

The Double penta prism is a simple but important optical instrument for marking out right angles or checking right angles, for angling a point onto a straight line (i.e. for dropping the perpendicular from the point onto this straight line) and for aligning itself with a straight line. The double pentagon prism is simple to use. In the double pentaprism, two pentagonal glass prisms are placed one above the other. For measurements above a measuring point, place the prism on a plumb bob or hang a plumb line in the notch on the lower part of the housing. This makes it easy to determine the position of the prism vertically above a measuring point.
