Erect Image - Wikipedia

An erect image in optics is one that appears right-side up and maintains the same orientation as the original object. It is formed when rays from a point on the object converge after passing through an optical system, differing from an inverted image. Erect images can be produced using mirrors and compound prism elements, while some devices like telescopes may show inverted images.

Erect image

In optics, an erect image is one that appears right-side up. An image is formed when rays from a
point on the original object meet again after passing through an optical system. In an erect image,
directions are the same as those in the object, in contrast to an inverted image. It is one of the
properties of images formed in a plane mirror. Some telescopes and other devices such as the
camera obscura present an inverted image on the viewing surface. Mirrors and compound prism
elements can be used to achieve an erect image instead.
