Both are designed to allow you to see more clearly something that you cannot see directly. Both use a combination of mirrors and glass lenses to produce an image.

We typically use a periscope to look around corners, while a telescope is primarily used to magnify the image.

What would be the effect on magnification to increase the focal length of microscope and telescope?

The focal length of a telescope is directly related to the magnification in that the longer the focal length, the more magnification you get from the telsceope. How the focal length of a telescope relates to the length of the telescope itself depends on the design of the telescope. In a refracting telescope, the focal length is approximately the length of the telescope. In a reflecting telescope, the focal length is roughly two time the length of the telescope.
