== Too many images ==
 
This article has too many images, most of them show the same aspect of the prism, or are more technical than the text. It would make sense to remove all but maybe one or two, and possibly add something like this image from the Dispersion article:
<gallery>
File:Light dispersion of a compact fluorescent lamp seen through an Amici direct-vision prism PNr°0114.jpg
</gallery>
As it actually shows the action of an Amici prism.
 
I would like to pitch my support for keeping the figure. I think it serves a useful purpose in visualizing what is meant by direction vision dispersion, something which is not explained anywhere else in Wikipedia.[[User:NathanHagen|NathanHagen]] ([[User talk:NathanHagen|talk]]) 02:21, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 
== Error in image(?) ==
 
The three-prism image seems wrong. It looks like the red light is bent more than the blue light in the left prism, and that the green light isn't bent at all. This is different from what I'd expect from [[Abbe number]] and disagrees with the diagram in the linked article.

== Primary topic? ==
 
In my education, "Amici prism" has normally been used by default to mean the non-dispersive [[Amici roof prism]]. Should we move this article to something like "[[Amici prism (dispersive)]]" to make room for a disambiguation page? --[[User:SoledadKabocha|SoledadKabocha]] ([[User talk:SoledadKabocha|talk]]) 00:37, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
:The guidelines discourage creating dab pages in cases where there are only two ambiguous articles. The recommended solution for this case is hatnotes at the top of the articles, which I have added.--[[User:Srleffler|Srleffler]] ([[User talk:Srleffler|talk]]) 03:38, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
::Ok, but I was disputing whether there is a [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC|primary topic]] at all here. --[[User:SoledadKabocha|SoledadKabocha]] ([[User talk:SoledadKabocha|talk]]) 04:56, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
:::I see. I don't think it matters if there is a primary topic. There aren't enough ambigous meanings for a dab page, so one of the two articles gets the direct term and the other doesn't. Since [[Amici roof prism]] has another name, the dispersive prism gets to be at [[Amici prism]].--[[User:Srleffler|Srleffler]] ([[User talk:Srleffler|talk]]) 05:49, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
