Prism o se vaega fa'apitoa masani ae taua tele.O se poloka tioata faʻataʻitaʻi e fausia mai tioata faʻamalosi malosi e ala i le faʻataʻitaʻiina, oloina, faʻamalo ma isi faiga.O galuega autu a prisms ua vaevaeina i faʻasalalauga ma ata.I le eseesega o ituaiga prism, e masani ona iloga i latou e ala i a latou meatotino ma faʻaoga.E fa ituaiga autu o prisms ma o latou uiga: dispersive prisms, deflection prisms, rotation prisms, ma offset prisms.Faatasi ai ma i latou, o prisms dispersive, e pei ona taʻu mai e le igoa, e masani ona faʻaaogaina i faʻamalama faʻasalalau, o lea e le talafeagai ai ia prisms mo soʻo se talosaga e manaʻomia ai le lelei o ata.E masani ona faʻaaogaina le faʻaogaina, faʻafefe ma le rotation prisms mo ata maualuga.I le talosaga.O prisms e faʻafefe ai le ala o le malamalama, pe faʻafefe ai le ata mai lona amataga, e aoga i le tele o faiga faʻataʻitaʻiga.E masani ona fa'afefete le malamalama ile 45°, 60°, 90° ma le 180°.E aoga lenei mea mo le aoina o le tele o le polokalama poʻo le fetuutuunai o auala malamalama e aunoa ma le aʻafiaina o isi vaega o le polokalama.O se prisma feliuliua'i, e pei o se lupe prism, e fa'aaogaina e fa'ata'amilo ai le ata fa'aliliu.Offset prisms tausia le itu o le ala malamalama, ae fetuunai foi lo latou sootaga i le masani.
O fa'ata'ita'iga nei o lo'o fa'aalia ai nisi o prisms masani ma a latou galuega.

2. Littrow Prisms- E mafai ona fa'aogaina prisms Littrow e le'i fa'apipi'iina e fai ma fa'alava ma fa'apipi'i e fa'afefe ai le malamalama.
3. Prisma Mata'u Mata'u– Te'ese le Malamalama i le 90°
4. Penta Prism – Fa'asese le malamalama ile 90°
5. Half Penta Prism – Fa'asese le malamalama ile 45°
6. Amici Roof Prism - Faʻafefea le Malamalama 90 °
7. Prisma tafatolu – fa'afe'ese'ese le malamalama ile 180°
8. Wedge Prism – Fa'ate'ia le Fa'alagi Fa'alava
9. Su'ega Rhombus - Offset Optical Axis
10. Lupe Prism – Faalua le tulimanu o le taamilosaga o le prism e feliuliuaʻi le ata pe a le faʻapipiʻiina, e atagia mai soʻo se ave i tua ia te ia lava pe a ufiufi.
