Telescope
Telescope is an optical instrument that uses lens or mirror and Others optical devices to observe distant objects. The use of light through the lens refraction or light is reflected by the concave mirror, so that it enters the small hole and converges into the image, and then is seen through a magnifying eyepiece.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Telescope is an optical instrument that uses lens or mirror and Others optical devices to observe distant objects. The use of light through the lens refraction or light is reflected by the concave mirror, so that it enters the small hole and converges into the image, and then is seen through a magnifying eyepiece.
Telescope is a kind of visual optical instrument used to observe long-distance objects. It can enlarge the small angle of distant objects at a certain rate, so that it has a larger opening angle in the image space, so that the objects that cannot be seen or resolved by the naked eye can be clearly distinguished. Therefore, telescope is an indispensable tool in astronomy and ground observation. It is an optical system in which the incident parallel beams are still emitted in parallel through the objective lens and eyepiece.
