What are some telescopes names?

Answer 1

The two types are refractor and reflector.

In a refracting telescope, the light comes in THROUGH a magnifying LENS where it is REFRACTED (bent) to focus the light into an objective lens.

In a reflecting telescope, the light BOUNCES OFF a curved magnifying MIRROR , and then reflected again on a secondary mirror to direct the light into an objective lens.

Among the advantages of a reflecting telescope are that in a refracting lens, the thickness of the lens can absorb some of the light, while a mirror reflects all of the light. Additionally, a reflecting telescope can "fold" the telescope into a much more compact instrument, which is essential with especially large devices. A large refracting telescope would be enormously heavy and cumbersome.

Answer 2

There are way more than three types of telescopes. However, there are three major types of microscopes - light microscopes, scanning electron microscopes, and transmission electron microscopes. Light microscopes are used to observe things up to 1000 times their natural size. One of the main advantages of light microscopy is that it can be used to study living organisms. This is not true of electron telescopes, which, although they have a much greater magnifying power, can only study things once they have underwent a special preparation which inevitably results in cell death because they must be subject to stuff like staining by heavy metals.

Answer 3

Ground-based telescopes, and space telescopes.

Or: refracting telescopes (main collector is a lens), and reflecting telescopes (main collector is a mirror).

Or: Home telescopes (small ones), and professional ones (larger and more expensive).

Answer 4

The two main kinds of Optical telescopes are refractors (dioptrics) and Newtonian reflectors (catoptrics)

Refractors use lenses while reflectors use mirrors.

Besides those, there are also catadioptric telescopes which use mirrors and lenses in combination.

Answer 5

There are two main types of optical telescope, the reflecting telescope and the refracting telescope. The reflecting telescope uses mirrors to magnify and manipulate the image, while a refracting telescope uses a series of lenses. The reflecting telescope has a shorter but wider body, while the refracting telescopes are generally longer but slimmer.
