What purpose would the telescope tube serve other than holding lenses and mirrors?
Well, most telescope tubes are opaque to prevent the admission of undesired external nonimage forming light that might overwhelm the desired image forming light passing from the objective end to the eyepiece/camera end. They also provide a mechanical support to keep the various components of the telescope properly aligned.

What instruments use lenses or mirriors to collect and focus light from distant objects?
Telescopes use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects. The lenses or mirrors help to magnify the light and form an image that can be viewed by the observer.
What does a simple refracting telescope have?
It has a collection of mirrors and lenses - which direct the incoming image to the eyepiece, which is usually set at 90 degrees to the body of the telescope.
Does the hubble space telescope use mirrors or lenses?
The Hubble Space Telescope uses mirrors to gather and focus incoming light. The primary mirror is 2.4 meters in diameter and collects light from celestial objects to produce high-resolution images. Mirrors are well-suited for space telescopes as they are more durable and easier to shape to precise specifications compared to lenses.
Why are mirrors better than lenses for telescopes?
I cannot think of a telescope without mirrors, unless it is completely run by computer with digital imaging.
Which of the following statements best describes the difference between a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
A refracting telescope uses lenses to gather and focus light, while a reflecting telescope uses mirrors. Reflecting telescopes are often preferred for large astronomical telescopes because mirrors can be made larger and more easily than lenses.
What is the main purpose of object lenses concave mirrors in the telescope?
Magnify images
What type of telescope uses lenses or mirrors to gather focus light energy?
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
What is a catadioprtic telescope?
It is a telescope that uses lenses and mirrors.
What type of telescope uses lenses or mirror to gather and focus energy?
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
Does the Hubble Telescope use mirrors or lenses to focus the image?
The Hubble Telescope uses both mirrors and lenses to focus on images.
Which optical device device uses mirrors and lenses to magnify images of distant objects?
A telescope can do that, but magnification is not its purpose.
What uses two lenses and two mirrors?
On eyeglasses? Two lenses = bifocals Three lenses = Trofocals
What telescope doesn't use mirrors or lenses to gather light?
A radio telescope.
How do you use a refracting telescope?
use mirrors instead of lenses
What do the telescope do?
They take objects that are at a distance and magnify them using mirrors and/or lenses.
What type of telescope does not use mirrors or lenses to gather light?
radiotelescope
What instruments use lenses or mirriors to collect and focus light from distant objects?
Telescopes use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects. The lenses or mirrors help to magnify the light and form an image that can be viewed by the observer.
