The roof prism is a type of prism with two mutually perpendicular reflective surfaces. This prism can deflect light by 90 degrees and is not limited by the critical angle of total internal reflection, allowing it to accept incident light at larger angles. Roof prisms are relatively small in size and are commonly used in very compact binoculars because they allow the objective lens and the eyepiece to be aligned in a straight line.
