Difference and comparison between porro prisms and roof prisms

The design of the binoculars is always determined by the type of prism used.

Porro Prism

Long-distance guests with the Porro prism construction can be recognised by its relatively low height and wide design. Advantage: The greater distance between the two lenses promotes spatial vision. A graphic illustration and further details on the Construction of porro prisms get it here!

Roof prism

Long-distance glasses with Roof prismsThe main difference between the roof edge and the Porro system is the roof edge, where one of the reflective surfaces resembles a house roof (see picture below). " More info have a slightly slimmer and longer design. The roof prisms are a more modern design with several precisely ground prisms. PrismsLenses have the property of imaging objects upside down and laterally inverted - therefore the image must be rotated again. " More info - This makes the production of roof prism glasses more complex. Advantage: Glasses of this design are particularly slim and easy to handle.

A graphical representation and further details on the construction of Roof prisms you will receive here! As a rule, there is no fundamental difference in the quality of optical performance between the two designs.
