Best Answer

A telescope must grasp the light from enormous distances. A microscope's task is to refine tiny images at very close distances.

What type of telescope concave mirrors to gather light and view the image?

Reflecting telescope. Most useful reflectors are compound types, combining a system of mirrors and lenses, such as the Newtonian and Cassegrain.


What is the difference between refracting telescopes and reflecting telescopes?

Hi , A reflective scope uses mirrors to focus the image and the light while a refractive scope uses curved glass lenses to focus the light and the image. Generally the reflector telescope is better for deep sky viewing and the refractor is better for lunar and planetary viewing. You can also find a compound telescope which uses both glass and mirrors which is better for general viewing.

What is low power objective in a microscope?

A low power objective in a microscope is a Small Lens with Low Magnifying Power. A microscope head with two eyepiece lenses, one for each eye. Generally this term is used in describing a high power (compound) microscope. With a low power microscope we say "stereo" head because, unlike the compound microscope, the stereo has a separate objective lens for each eyepiece lens, producing two independent paths of light, one for each eye. In the compound microscope with a binocular head, there are two eyepiece lenses but still only one objective lens and you will not get stereo vision. Hope this helps.
