Telescopes can be made to see in almost any part of the electromagnetic spectrum: visible light, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, or radio waves. The largest telescopes are those for radio waves - in Arecibo there is one with a diameter of 300 meters. I am not sure whether it is the largest, though.

Most telescopes use refractor lenses. Sometime a telescope will use reflector lenses.
What telescope must be mounted on high-flying aircraft or a satellite to be useful in studying the stars?
