Microscopes and telescopes that work with visible light are both devices to collect and magnify light. Id you talk about refracting telescopes, which are the most like microscopes because they use lenses in a tube, you could thing of a microscope as looking in one end and telescope as looing in the other end to deal respectively with the very small and the vary far away.

Why do you use telescope in diffraction grating experiment instead of microscope?

In a diffraction grating experiment, a telescope is used instead of a microscope because the telescope is designed to observe distant light sources and collect light over a larger angle, which is essential for analyzing the diffraction patterns produced by the grating. The telescope allows for the measurement of angles and intensities of the diffracted light, providing clearer visibility of the interference patterns. In contrast, a microscope is optimized for viewing small, close objects and is not suitable for measuring angular distributions of light. Thus, the telescope's capabilities align better with the requirements of the experiment.
