Principle of the periscope. The periscope on the left uses mirrors whereas the right uses prisms. a Mirrors b Prisms c Observer's eye Principle of the lens periscope. The two periscopes differ in the way they erect the image. The left one uses an erecting prism whereas the right uses an erecting lens and a second image plane. a Objective lens b ...
Schematic of a conventional and a periscope zoom lens A smartphone with a 5x optical zoom periscope lens camera, recognizable by the rectangular shape of its lens. A periscope lens, sometimes called a folded lens, is a mechanical assembly of lens elements that uses a prism or mirror to redirect the light through the lenses with a 90° angle to the optical axis, as in a periscope.

Telescopes can be classified by optical design or mechanical design/construction. Telescopes can also be classified by where they are placed, such as space telescopes . One major determining factor is type of light, or particle being observed including devices referred to as "telescopes" that do not form an image or use optics.
The Large Binocular Telescope at the Mount Graham International Observatory in Arizona uses two curved mirrors to gather light. An optical telescope gathers and focuses light mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, to create a magnified image for direct visual inspection, to make a photograph, or to collect data through electronic image sensors.
A simple example of an afocal optical system is an optical telescope imaging a star, the light entering the system is from the star at infinity (to the left) and the image it forms is at infinity (to the right), i.e., the collimated light is collimated by the afocal system. [2]
The 100-inch (2.54 m) Hooker reflecting telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory near Los Angeles, USA, used by Edwin Hubble to measure galaxy redshifts and discover the general expansion of the universe. A telescope is a device used to observe distant objects by their emission, absorption, or reflection of electromagnetic radiation. [1]
Reflecting telescopes, rear-projection televisions, periscopes, non-reversing mirrors, high-quality kaleidoscopes, and the animation process. In cases where the mirror is subjected to extreme cold (as low as 33 K as in the James Webb Space Telescope ), a polished pure beryllium mirror is used without a first-surface coating in order to ...
