Right Prism. A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base faces. [5] This applies if and only if all the joining faces are rectangular. The dual of a right n-prism is a right n-bipyramid. A right prism (with rectangular sides) with regular n-gon bases has Schläfli symbol { }×{n}.
Truncated right triangular prism. A truncated triangular prism is a triangular prism constructed by truncating its part at an oblique angle. As a result, the two bases are not parallel and every height has a different edge length. If the edges connecting bases are perpendicular to one of its bases, the prism is called a truncated right ...
Right rhombic prism: it has two rhombic faces and four congruent rectangular faces. Note: the fully rhombic special case, with two rhombic faces and four congruent square faces ( a = b = c ) {\displaystyle (a=b=c)} , has the same name, and the same symmetry group (D 2h , order 8).
Prism spectacles with a single prism perform a relative displacement of the two eyes, thereby correcting eso-, exo, hyper- or hypotropia. In contrast, spectacles with prisms of equal power for both eyes, called yoked prisms (also: conjugate prisms, ambient lenses or performance glasses) shift the visual field of both eyes to the same extent.

3D model of a (uniform) heptagonal prism. In geometry , the heptagonal prism is a prism with heptagonal base. This polyhedron has 9 faces (2 bases and 7 sides), 21 edges, and 14 vertices.
The two halves of the prism are joined with optical cement, and the crystal axes are perpendicular to the plane of the diagram. The lower red ray exiting the prism undergoes refraction, which is not shown on this diagram. A Glan–Thompson prism is a type of polarizing prism similar to the Nicol prism and Glan–Foucault prism.
Porro prism designs have the added benefit of folding the optical path so that the physical length of the binoculars is less than the focal length of the objective. Porro prism binoculars were made in such a way to erect an image in a relatively small space, thus binoculars using prisms started in this way.
A right circular hollow cylinder (or cylindrical shell) is a three-dimensional region bounded by two right circular cylinders having the same axis and two parallel annular bases perpendicular to the cylinders' common axis, as in the diagram. Let the height be h, internal radius r, and external radius R.
