   Hi,all   
      
   I browsed thorlabs and found two kinds of reflector:   
      
   1: plano metallic mirros   
   http://www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=264   
      
   2: prism mirrors   
   http://www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=905   
      
      
   when they are used as simply beam reflectors, are they functioning the same?   
      
   I didn't see the difference from the picture below:   
   http://www.thorlabs.com/images/TabImages/Right_Angle_Prism_Mirror_D1-200.gif   
      
      
   but why they made such an optical prism mirror?   
      
   thanks!
