What do microscopes telescopes and binoculars all use to magnify images?
They all use lenses to magnify images. Lenses are able to bend light rays in a way that makes objects appear larger when viewed through the lens.
What instruments use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects?
A Telescope uses lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects. With the advancement in optical research we are capable to watch the stars and planets better than before. Our information about universe largely depend on telescopes.
How are reflecting and refracting telescopes different?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to collect and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes typically have a closed tube design which protects the mirrors from dust and other contaminants, while refracting telescopes are more prone to chromatic aberration. Reflecting telescopes are generally easier to manufacture at larger sizes compared to refracting telescopes.
How do binoculars refract?
Binoculars are essentially a pair of identical refracting telescopes; they have a large objective lens at the front and a number of smaller lenses to enable an image to be brought into sharp focus. Prisms are used so that larger objective lenses can be used - otherwise they would be limited by the distance between the eyes. The prisms reflect the image through two right angles in the binoculars. The prisms also reverse the inversion that occurs in refracting telescopes.
What are refractor lens?
Good telescopes don't use glass lenses for magnification, because they refract different colors is slightly different angles (known as prism effect), but they use spherical mirrorsinstead. Telescopes with lenses have the advantage of being smaller, cheaper and lighter.Therefore refracting telescopes use lenses, and reflecting telescopes use mirrors.
Does binocular use lens?
Yes, binoculars use similar lenses to telescopes but with a system of prisms to fold the light path to permit binoculars to be much shorter than a regular telescope.

They all use lenses to magnify images. Lenses are able to bend light rays in a way that makes objects appear larger when viewed through the lens.
Where are convex lenses found?
Convex lenses are commonly found in magnifying glasses, cameras, telescopes, and eyeglasses. They are also used in devices such as microscopes, projectors, and binoculars.

Telescopes that use lenses for focusing light are called what telescopes?
That telescope you are refering to is called a refracting telescope.
What type of lens used in telescope?
Most telescopes use refractor lenses. Sometime a telescope will use reflector lenses.

The use of convex lenses to form an image is the method by which what telescopes work?
Refracting
What do you use for birdwatching?
Binoculars, telescopes, and tripods. You can also carry a bird guide or a journal to record notes.
What do scientists use to look at astronomical bodies?
Telescopes and binoculars, although a lot can be seen with an unaided eye.
