Use this equilateral prism to split a beam of light into its spectral components (the colors of the rainbow).
Prisms are not just for science class and fun light experiments either. Both amateur and professional photographers can use prisms to create interesting effects in their pictures.

Show your kids a rainbow with light refraction

  1. Use a white paper or canvas and tack it to a wall across a room from a sunny window or a flashlight if there are no windows available.
  2. Make sure the canvas or paper is flat and smooth. Hold your prism in front of the background.
  3. Make sure to catch the light from the window. If using a flashlight, hold the prism in your non-dominant hand and the flashlight in your dominant hand.
  4. Turn on the flashlight and hold the prism in the light. Continue to twist and turn your prism in the light source until a corner of the triangle falls into the light beam.
  5. Light should then refract through the prism and create a rainbow on your background.

 Our prisms are made with K9 optical glass. They are checked for clarity and imperfections during the manufacturing process. Our prisms are hand sanded and polished to our specific size requirements to maintain consistency and quality. Our prisms measure 2” (60mm) by 1.38” (35mm). Our prisms are slightly wider than the competition to make them easier to hold and use.

All of our prisms come in our padded satin lined Amlong Crystal box.
