What's the name of ...

[Paul Hovnanian P.E.]

.... the mirror/prism configuration that can rotate an image fed into a
camera by rotating one (or more) of its component mirrors?

Dove prism?

Yes. Also (more prosaically) "image rotator".

Dove prism?

That's it. Thanks.

If you Google on that, you've got to wade through a whole bunch of
software apps.

If you Google on that, you've got to wade through a whole bunch of
software apps.

You can often greatly reduce the wading effort by entering "-compiler"
or some other word that is most likely to occur in a software-related
description. Then it (usually) ignores all hits with that word in there.

"Dove prisms have an interesting property that when they are rotated along
their longitudinal axis, the transmitted image rotates at twice the rate
of the prism. This property means they can rotate a beam of light by an
arbitrary angle, making them useful in beam rotators, which have
applications in fields such as interferometry, astronomy, and pattern
recognition."

Edmund scientific had them listed in their catalog last Millennium.
