A reflecting telescope gathers light with a mirror instead of a lens. The mirror reflects light to a focus point where the image is formed. This design eliminates chromatic aberration that can occur with lenses.
The telescope is cylindrical. Its primary mirror is concave.
A telescope that uses one or more mirrors is called a reflecting telescope. Light is collected and focused by the primary mirror, which then reflects it to a secondary mirror that directs it to the eyepiece or detector. This design allows for larger apertures and better image quality compared to refracting telescopes.

A reflecting telescope primarily consists of a primary mirror, a secondary mirror, and a focuser. Components that are not part of a reflecting telescope include lenses, as these are characteristic of refracting telescopes. Additionally, features such as optical filters or electronic sensors, while they may be used in conjunction with telescopes, are not inherent parts of the reflecting telescope itself.

A parabolic mirror, usually. A spherical mirror is also sometimes used, but that requires additional corrections in other parts of the telescope.

A reflecting telescope.
To find the aperture of a reflecting telescope, you would measure the diameter of the primary mirror. The aperture of a telescope is the diameter of its primary light-gathering element, which in the case of a reflecting telescope, is the primary mirror.

A reflecting telescope is different from a refracting telescope because a reflecting telescope uses a concave lens, a plane mirror, and a convex lens. While a refracting telescope uses two lens.
