Refractors use a concave lens to refract the light rays through the main body, off the rectangular prism and into the eyepiece. These telescopes use no mirrors like reflectors (except the triangular prism contains a small mirror but a triangular prism is optional)

What is a grazing telescope?

X-rays mirrors can be built, but only if the angle from the plane of reflection is very low (typically 10 arc-minutes to 2 degrees). These are called glancing (or grazing) incidence mirrors. In 1952, Hans Wolter outlined three ways a telescope could be built using only this kind of mirror. Not surprisingly, these are called Wolter telescopes of type I, II, and III. Each has different advantages and disadvantages.
