Light can be refracted, reflected, or dispersed when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors. Convex lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light. Concave and convex mirrors reflect light in different ways: convex mirrors diverge light, creating a virtual image, while concave mirrors can converge light, creating a real image.
No, microscopes use lenses to magnify objects, not mirrors. Mirrors are sometimes used in microscopes for directing and focusing light, but they are not the main component responsible for magnification.
Mirrors, such as plane mirrors, reflect light rays back in the same direction. Lenses, on the other hand, refract light rays by bending them as they pass through, converging or diverging them depending on the shape of the lens. Both mirrors and lenses can alter the path of light rays to create images.
by shape
Diverging mirrors and lenses always produce virtual images that are upright and smaller than the object being viewed.

Mirrors reflect light; lenses do not. APEX 0-0
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
The Hubble Telescope uses both mirrors and lenses to focus on images.
They are not mirrors they are called lenses so we can see through them
Lenses and/or mirrors
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
Mirrors don't refract, they reflect. All lenses, on the other hand, refract (bend) the light. All cameras have lenses, to focus the image; same for eyeglasses. Some telescopes have lenses, but others are collections of mirrors. Note that some few optical elements are lenses and mirrors - like prescription sunglasses with mirror coating.
Cameras and reflecting telescopes gather light using mirrors and lenses.

It is a telescope that uses lenses and mirrors.
