Both are designed to allow you to see more clearly something that you cannot see directly. Both use a combination of mirrors and glass lenses to produce an image.
We typically use a periscope to look around corners, while a telescope is primarily used to magnify the image.

How is a radio telescope similar to a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
They all collect and focus light and other forms of electromagnetic radation.
Did Isaac Newton invent the first microscope?
Zacharias Janssen was the first person to invent the microscope and the kind of microscope he made was a compound microscope--a microscope that uses two or more sets of lenses. Plus, the first compound microscope (by Zacharias) was made around 1595 in Middleburg, Holland.
Who made use of the reflecting telescope?
Isaac Newton invented the reflecting telescope.
Why did Isaac Newton invent the telescope?
Newton did not invent the telescope, he invented the reflecting telescope. The reflecting telescope was a major improvement over the distorting refracting telescope.
Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens or a mirror?
reflecting telescope gathers light from mirror

What type of telescope is hubble space telescope?
It is a reflecting telescope
Is the difference between a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
A reflecting telescope uses mirrors while refracting telescopes uses lens. The refracting telescope also had chromatic aberration and bad resolution while the reflecting telescope had none of these.
What is the difference between a High Power telescope and a Reflecting telescope?
A Reflecting telescope has a lot of zooming technologies and the High Power telescope is highly powered.
Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens or a mirror?
reflecting telescope gathers light from mirror
How are reflecting and retracting telescopes different?
A reflecting telescope is different from a refracting telescope because a reflecting telescope uses a concave lens, a plane mirror, and a convex lens. While a refracting telescope uses two lens.
What did Hans and Zacharias Jannsen do?
The invented the microscope and telescope. The invented the microscope and telescope.
What is the main difference between a reflecting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
Those are, in fact, identical down to the finest detail.
What type of telescope is a reflecting telescope?
one which reflects of mirrors
