A prism composed usually of two prisms of different transparent substances which have unequal dispersive powers, as two different kinds of glass, especially flint glass and crown glass, the difference of dispersive power being compensated by giving them different refracting angles, so that, when placed together so as to have opposite relative positions, a ray of light passed through them is refracted or bent into a new position, but is free from color. 1, record 3, English, - achromatic%20prism

Prisme achromatique.-[...] Il repose sur un support à hauteur variable. Les deux prismes, un crown, avec un angle de 15 degrés et 15 minutes, l'autre flint, avec l'angle de 8 degrés et 6 minutes, calculés pour les respectives qualités du verre utilisé, sont soutenus par une plaque horizontale et collés le long de deux petites colonnes tournantes sur leur axe. En utilisant les deux prismes séparément, on note que les images des objets se montrent séparées et colorées aux bords. Au contraire, en les utilisant en paires, à travers le système des deux prismes on observe encore la déviation, mais pas la coloration. 2, record 3, French, - prisme%20achromatique
