  2. Objective (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective_(optics)

    In a telescope the objective is the lens at the front end of a refracting telescope (such as binoculars or telescopic sights) or the image-forming primary mirror of a reflecting or catadioptric telescope. A telescope's light-gathering power and angular resolution are both directly related to the diameter (or "aperture") of its objective lens or ...

  3. Optical power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_power

    In optics, optical power (also referred to as dioptric power, refractive power, focusing power, or convergence power) is the degree to which a lens, mirror, or other optical system converges or diverges light. It is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length of the device: P = 1/f. [1] High optical power corresponds to short focal length.

  4. Optical telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_telescope

    The Keck II telescope gathers light by using 36 segmented hexagonal mirrors to create a 10 m (33 ft) aperture primary mirror. The light-gathering power of an optical telescope, also referred to as light grasp or aperture gain, is the ability of a telescope to collect a lot more light than the human eye.

  5. Cassegrain reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassegrain_reflector

    Light path in a Cassegrain reflecting telescope. The Cassegrain reflector is a combination of a primary concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror, often used in optical telescopes and radio antennas, the main characteristic being that the optical path folds back onto itself, relative to the optical system's primary mirror entrance aperture.

  6. Reflecting telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflecting_telescope

    Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy 24-inch convertible Newtonian/Cassegrain reflecting telescope on display at the Franklin Institute. A reflecting telescope (also called a reflector) is a telescope that uses a single or a combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image.

  7. Magnifying glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnifying_glass

    A pen seen through a magnifying glass Jim Hutton as detective Ellery Queen, posing with a magnifying glass. A magnifying glass is a convex lens that is used to produce a magnified image of an object. The lens is usually mounted in a frame with a handle. A magnifying glass can be used to focus light, such as to concentrate the Sun's radiation to ...
