An erecting lens is used in an astronomical telescope to right the image for terrestrial viewing. It can be placed between the objective and the ocular or be integrated in the eyepiece. Best regards Torbjoern

What telescope uses an eyepiece and an objective lens?
Practically all telescopes which use lenses, normally the refracting type. the Reflector use objective Concave Mirrors, but even these need eyepieces or finder scopes.
What kind of telescope's objective is a lens but contains no mirrors?
Refractors use a concave lens to refract the light rays through the main body, off the rectangular prism and into the eyepiece. These telescopes use no mirrors like reflectors (except the triangular prism contains a small mirror but a triangular prism is optional)
Why do astronomers use as few lenses as possible in their telescopes?
Each lens absorbs some light, making the telescope weaker. I suppose each lens could also introduce certain abberations.
Who invented the two lens system?
The use of a two lens telescope is credited to three people of Netherlands , Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen, and Jacob Metius . Galileo improved on their designs and is generally given the credit of inventing the telescope.Robert Hooke was the first to use a two lens microscope.
Where did Galileo invent the telescope?
Galileo didn't actually invent the telescope, though he was one of the first to use it for astronomical observations. At the time he constructed his first telescopes, he was teaching at the University of Padua in Italy.
Are lens part of a telescope?
-- A refracting telescope must have a lens, otherwise it's not a refracting telescope. -- A reflecting telescope can be constructed without any lens, but if you intend to look through it, then you'll use a little lens for the eyepiece.
What tool do scientist use to observe distant objects in the sky?
Terrestrial telescope
What type of lens used in telescope?
Most telescopes use refractor lenses. Sometime a telescope will use reflector lenses.
Does salt use conventional lenses like other telescope?
yes i think it does because it is a refracting lens telescope like the telescope build in Yerkes observatory in 1671 .
What kind of telescope focuses light through a transparent lens?
An optical telescope (as distinct from, say, a radio telescope). It's possible that the answer was intended to be "a refracting telescope" but reflecting telescopes use lenses as well.
What type of lens does a reflecting telescope use?
A reflecting telescope only uses lenses in the eyepiece. Light is picked up and an image produced by using a concave parabolic mirror.
Does a telescope use a convex lens?
Reflecting telescopes don't use lenses - they use mirrors (hence 'reflecting'). Light goes in the top, hits a concave mirror at the bottom of the tube which makes the light converge when it is reflected, then bounces back up to the top where it hits a smaller secondary mirror, where it is directed down the eyepiece. Do you mean refracting telescopes? If so then these do use lenses, the amount depends on the telescope. The most simple form has an objective lens which focuses the light, and then an eyepiece which has a lens in it to magnify the image. The objective lens is convex on the side pointing out of the telescope, and is flat on the other side.
What is use of Johannes Kepler's invention telescope?
A telescope is used to magnify things that are far away.That said, I'm not sure who told you that Johannes Kepler invented the telescope. He didn't invent the telescope itself, but he did come up with a new design. Kepler's design uses a convex lens at the eyepiece rather than a concave one. This has several advantages, but a couple of disadvantages, such as the image appearing upside down. This makes it largely useless for terrestrial work, but it's suitable for astronomy, which is what Kepler was interested in anyway.
What is the use of reflecting telescope?
a. concave mirror b. a convex lens c. a plane mirror or d. all the above.
A sentence using the word achromatic?
The distracting violet fringing of the image in the telescope was limited by the use of an achromatic lens system.
What telescope uses an eyepiece and an objective lens?
Practically all telescopes which use lenses, normally the refracting type. the Reflector use objective Concave Mirrors, but even these need eyepieces or finder scopes.
What objects use biconvex lens?
The main object is the telescope so that it is an easier way to see small things up close.
