Frequently Asked Questions
What types of prisms do you carry?
We carry single-prism, triple-prism, and mini prism assemblies for total station and EDM surveying, along with prism poles and adapters for field use in land surveying applications.
Are your prisms compatible with all total stations?
Most standard prisms use a universal fitting compatible with all major total station brands. Confirm prism constant and compatibility with your specific instrument before purchasing.
What is a prism pole used for?
A prism pole holds the survey prism at a known height above a ground point for EDM measurement. Adjustable poles allow the rod person to quickly set exact prism heights for accurate survey control point measurements.
