   Mirrors and lenses are the critical light-bending components of a telescope. Objective: The first lens or curved mirror that collects and focuses the incoming light. Primary lens: The objective of a refracting telescope. Primary mirror: The objective of a reflecting telescope. Corrector plate: A full aperture negative lens placed before a ...

3. Leupold & Stevens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leupold_&_Stevens

   [3] [4] In 1962, Leupold invented the Duplex Reticle, which most riflescopes now use. [6] By 1979, Leupold scopes were generating twice the total revenue of Stevens instruments. [3] [7] In 1969, the company acquired a majority interest in the company Nosler Bullets (also a family company), and then sold off their portion in 1988.

4. Relay lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_lens

   In optics, a relay lens is a lens or a group of lenses that receives the image from the objective lens and relays it to the eyepiece. Relay lenses are found in refracting telescopes , endoscopes , and periscopes to optically manipulate the light path , extend the length of the whole optical system , and usually serve the purpose of inverting ...

5. Telescopic sight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_sight

   Telescopic sights based on image erector lenses (used to present to the user with an upright image) have two planes of focus where a reticle can be placed: at the focal plane between the objective and the image erector lens system (the First Focal Plane (FFP)), or the focal plane between the image erector lens system and the eyepiece (the ...

   Galilean type Soviet-made miniature 2.5 × 17.5 monocular Diagram of a monocular using a Schmidt-Pechan prism: 1 – Objective lens 2 – Schmidt-Pechan prism 3 – Eyepiece. A monocular is a compact refracting telescope used to magnify images of distant objects, typically using an optical prism to ensure an erect image, instead of using relay lenses like most telescopic sights.

7. List of largest optical refracting telescopes - Wikipedia

   Refracting telescopes use a lens to focus light. The Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope , with a lens diameter of 43 inches, is technically the largest, with 39 inches clear for the aperture.The second largest refracting telescope in the world is the Yerkes Observatory 40 inch (102 cm) refractor, used for astronomical and scientific observation for ...
