Do microscopes use mirrors to magnify objects?
No, they use lenses. :)
What is a periscope in detail?
A periscope is an optical instrument that uses a system of prisms, lenses, or mirrors to reflect images through a tube. Light from a distant object strikes the top mirror and is then reflected at an angle of 90 degrees down the periscope tube. At the bottom of the periscope, the light strikes another mirror and is then reflected into the viewer's eye.
How do mirrors and lenses affect light rays?

What are the types of lenses and mirrors?
1. plain mirror2. concave mirror 4. concave lens3.convex mirror 5.convex lens
How do mirrors and lenses compare in their interaction with light?
Mirrors reflect light; lenses do not. APEX 0-0
What type of telescope uses lenses or mirrors to gather focus light energy?
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
What is a tool that gathers light with mirrors and lenses called?
Cameras and reflecting telescopes gather light using mirrors and lenses.
Does the hubble space telescope use mirrors or lenses?
It uses lenses.
Does the Hubble Telescope use mirrors or lenses to focus the image?
The Hubble Telescope uses both mirrors and lenses to focus on images.
What type of mirrors use in camera?
They are not mirrors they are called lenses so we can see through them
What is found in telescopes and microscopes?

What type of telescope uses lenses or mirror to gather and focus energy?

Can mirrors cameras telescope and eye glasses refract light?
Mirrors don't refract, they reflect. All lenses, on the other hand, refract (bend) the light. All cameras have lenses, to focus the image; same for eyeglasses. Some telescopes have lenses, but others are collections of mirrors. Note that some few optical elements are lenses and mirrors - like prescription sunglasses with mirror coating.
What is a catadioprtic telescope?

What uses two lenses and two mirrors?
On eyeglasses? Two lenses = bifocals Three lenses = Trofocals
