That telescope you are refering to is called a refracting telescope.
What else can I help you with?
What is a tool that gathers light with mirrors and lenses called?
Cameras and reflecting telescopes gather light using mirrors and lenses.
How are reflecting and refracting telescopes different?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to collect and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes typically have a closed tube design which protects the mirrors from dust and other contaminants, while refracting telescopes are more prone to chromatic aberration. Reflecting telescopes are generally easier to manufacture at larger sizes compared to refracting telescopes.
Reflecting telescopes differ from refracting telescopes in having what?
Two large objective lenses.
What are the important part of telescopes?
lenses
What are refractor lens?
Good telescopes don't use glass lenses for magnification, because they refract different colors is slightly different angles (known as prism effect), but they use spherical mirrorsinstead. Telescopes with lenses have the advantage of being smaller, cheaper and lighter.Therefore refracting telescopes use lenses, and reflecting telescopes use mirrors.
What is found in telescopes and microscopes?
Lenses and/or mirrors
How are microscopes and telescopes the same?
They both have lenses.
Do binoculars and telescopes use lenses?
Yes, they both use lenses.
WHAT devices is chromatic aberration a problem for astronomer?
Chromatic aberration can be a problem for astronomers using refracting telescopes and camera lenses, as it can cause color fringing and reduce the image quality by not focusing all colors to the same point. Reflecting telescopes, which use mirrors instead of lenses, do not have this issue.
The earliest telescopes are called what telescopes?
I believe the name of the first telescope was called the "telescope." The word was created from the Greek tele = 'far' and skopein = 'to look or see'; teleskopos = 'far-seeing'.
Are there any useful effects of refraction?
Yes. Lenses are used for glasses (correction for eye problems), for microscopes, telescopes, and other applications.Yes.

Why have no large refracting telescopes been built since 1900?
Refracting telescopes suffer from chromatic aberration, refracting telescopes have several surfaces to shape and polish, making large glass lenses without interior defects is very difficult, and large glass lenses are more difficult to support than large mirrors.
