The porro prism was the first of these two designs and consists of two mirrors mounted separately.
Modern roof prism binoculars tend to have two separate prisms that are cemented together, rather than two offset prisms of the porro prism design.
Porro prism designs consequently tend to be much more susceptible to alignment problems if dropped.

  Porro-Abbe prism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Porro-Abbe prism (sometimes called a Abbe-Porro prism), named for Ignazio Porro and Ernst Abbe, is a type of reflection prism used in some optical instruments to alter the orientation of an image.
For ease of manufacture, the prism is often made as a pair of double-right-angled prisms and the two halves cemented together.
The Porro-Abbe prism should not be confused with the dispersive Abbe prism or the non-dispersive Abbe-Koenig prism.

 Porro prism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In optics, a Porro prism, named for its inventor Ignazio Porro, is a type of reflection prism used in optical instruments to alter the orientation of an image.
Double Porro prism systems are used in small optical telescopes to re-orient an inverted image (an arrangement is known as a image erection system), and especially in many binoculars where they both erect the image and provide a longer, folded distance between the objective lenses and the eyepieces.
A single Porro prism is a type of roof prism, though it is not used in this way in binoculars.

 Olympus Microscopy Resource Center: Physics of Light and Color - Introduction to Prisms and Beamsplitters
Porro prisms are often employed in traditional binocular configurations, where they are doubled together orthogonally to first invert and then reverse light beams to produce erect or upright images.
Although at first glance the dove prism appears to be a good candidate for dispersion (due to the angular entrance of the light beam), transmission of light through the prism is actually equivalent to passage through a slab of glass with the side benefit of image rotation.
Penta prisms are often referred to as an optical square (as applied to surveying instruments), because the incoming light beam is deviated at the same angle, regardless of the prism orientation with respect to the line of sight.

In optics, a prism is a device used to refract light, reflect it or break it up (to disperse it) into its constituent spectral colours (colours of the rainbow), traditionally built in the shape of a right prism with triangular base.
A prism with at least one rectangular face has all faces rectangular, and is called a ''rectangular prism''; a rectangular prism with a square face has two opposite square faces, and is called a ''square prism''.
The dual of a prism is a bipyramid.

 Abbe prism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In optics, an Abbe prism, named for its inventor, the German physicist Ernst Abbe, is a type of constant deviation dispersive prism similar to a Pellin-Broca prism.
The prism is designed such that one particular wavelength of the light exits the prism at a deviation angle (relative to the light's original path) of exactly 60°.
The dispersive Abbe prism should not be confused with the non-dispersive Porro-Abbe or Abbe-Koenig prisms.

There can be numerous advantages to Porro prism binoculars, including a substantial transmission of light to your eye creating brighter images, faster and relatively closer focusing capabilities than many roof prism models, and a wider (angle of) view than most roof prism binocs are capable of producing.
Among the disadvantages to Porro prisms is their weight—quality Porro prism binoculars have large and heavy internal glass prisms that make them weighty, bulky (and often unwieldy) for many people, especially those with small hands.
They often dont focus as closely as Porro prism glasses (which is important if you are going to use them for birding activities and want to view birds in nearby shrubs), and they tend to be more expensive than Porro prism optics as well.

 Abb Relays
Abbe numbers are only a useful measure of dispersion for visible light, and for other wavelengths, or for higher precision work, the group velocity dispersion is used.
Abbe is best known for his work in optics; however, during his association with Carl Zeiss' microscope works, in Jena, he introduced the eight-hour workday, in remembrance of the 14-hour workday of his own father.
Abbe was most known as a plastic surgeon, and between 1877 and 1884 he served as a surgeon and professor of surgery at the New York Hospital, St. Luke's Hospital, and the New York Babies Hospital.

 Prism (optics) Summary
A prism is a clear solid used to manipulate the path of a light ray, either by bending it, splitting it, or polarizing it.
Prisms can be found in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and can possess a number of sides.

Image:PrismAndLight.jpg In optics, a prism is a device used to refract light, reflect it or break it up (to disperse it) into its constituent spectral colours (colours of the rainbow).
The traditional geometrical shape is that of a triangular prism, with a triangular base and rectangular sides.
Dispersive prisms are used to break up light into its constituent spectral colours because the refractive index depends on frequency (see dispersion); the white light entering the prism is a mixture of different frequencies, each of which gets bent slightly differently.

A Porro-Abbe prism (sometimes called a Abbe-Porro prism), named for Ignazio Porro and Ernst Abbe, is a type of reflection prism used in some optical instruments to alter the orientation of an image.
The prism is not dispersive since light enters and exits the prism only at normal incidence.
The Porro-Abbe prism should not be confused with the dispersive Abbe prism or the non-dispersive Abbe-Koenig prism.

Not until years later did Leitz built larger Porro I models in the manner of the Binoctar, with the metal parts mostly of brass, and only the prism housings of aluminum (as was standard).
The prism mount obviously did not effectively protect the prisms against impact, and in regards to temperature changes, was not an effective design.
If present, the reticle was cemented in between the prism and the field lens in the Zeiss H models, and therefore protected against damage or dirt, and of course also protected against later improvements.

This was probably due to the fact that, at this time, the manufacture of the glass for the prisms was too difficult; this was overcome by E. Abbe, after the founding of -the glassworks at Jena, who effected, independently of his predecessors,.
Of special importance is the work of Abbe; although, as he himself has stated, his methods accidentally led to the Wenham system, he certainly was far above his predecessors in his theoretical treatment of the problem, and in the perspicuity and clearness of his explanation.
The problem was attacked in 1861 by A. Rollet; later, in 1866, E. Mach published a promising idea, and finally-independently of the researches of his predecessors-Hektor de Grousilliers, in partnership with the Zeiss firm (E. Abbe and C. Pulfrich), constructed the first stereoscopic range-finder suitable for practical use.

 Binoculars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Binoculars with prisms to shorten the optical path and erect the image may have double-Porro-prism design, which gives a Z-shaped optical path.
Binoculars that use roof prisms (either the Abbe-Koenig or Schmidt-Pechan designs) are narrower, more compact, and more expensive than those that use Porro prisms.
However, as of 2005, the optical quality of the best roof-prism binoculars with up-to-date coating processes as used in Schmidt-Pechan models is comparable with the best Porro glasses, and it appears that roof prisms will dominate the market for high-quality portable binoculars in spite of their higher price.

Abbe said "Based on a precise study of the materials used, the designs concerned are specified by computation to the last detail - every curvature, every thickness, every aperture of a lens - so that any groping around is excluded".
On 4 January 1881 Schott met Abbe who prompted him to employ a scientific approach to the determination of ingredients to be used in, and the development of manufacturing techniques of what would become more than 100 new types of optical and industrial glasses.
Abbe was also interested in social reforms culminating in the formation in 1889 of the "Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung" (something akin to a foundation) to operate the various Zeiss concerns, with a mission to ensure the Zeiss firm follow the social vision of its founders.
