What telescope has an eyepiece lens and a mirror?
A reflecting telescope has both an eyepiece lens and a mirror. Light enters the telescope and is reflected off the primary mirror to a secondary mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece where it is magnified for viewing.
Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens or a mirror?
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.
Is a reflecting telescope cancave or convex?
The telescope is cylindrical. Its primary mirror is concave.
What is a telescope that uses one or more mirrors?
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.
At the end of the reflecting telescope is a what mirror?
At the end of the reflecting telescope is a primary mirror. This mirror collects and focuses light from distant objects before reflecting it to a smaller secondary mirror or camera for further magnification or analysis.
What is a multiple-mirror telescope?
Newtonian telescope
What telescope has an eyepiece lens and a mirror?
A reflecting telescope has both an eyepiece lens and a mirror. Light enters the telescope and is reflected off the primary mirror to a secondary mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece where it is magnified for viewing.
Which type of telescope uses a mirror to gather light?
A reflecting telescope.
What type of mirror is at the end of a reflecting telescope?
A parabolic mirror, usually. A spherical mirror is also sometimes used, but that requires additional corrections in other parts of the telescope.

Where can one buy a new mirror for a telescope?
There are a variety of places where one can buy a new mirror for a telescope. The best place to get a replacement mirror is at a online shop that sells telescopes.
What part of a reflecting telescope would you measure to find the apeture?
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.
At the end of the reflecting telescope is a what mirror?
At the end of the reflecting telescope is a primary mirror. This mirror collects and focuses light from distant objects before reflecting it to a smaller secondary mirror or camera for further magnification or analysis.
How many mirrors does a reflecting telescope have?
A reflecting telescope only needs one mirror, the primary mirror which will focus incoming light to a single point. A digital telescope might place the digital recording media directly in front of the reflecting telescope without any additional mirrors (although perhaps some lenses). For practical purposes though, most optical telescope will have a secondary mirror that will either focus light straight back through a hole in the primary telescope mirror, or to the side of the telescope. Some telescopes, especially the large ones in observatories will have several mirrors directing the light path to the observer or recording equipment.
Is a Hubble space telescope a space telescope?
No, it isn't. The Hubble Space Telescope is a reflector. It has a primary mirror, and not a primary lens.
