    which is the ratio of the output beam width to the input beam width. Note the sign convention: a telescope with two convex lenses (f 1 > 0, f 2 > 0) produces a negative magnification, indicating an inverted image. A convex plus a concave lens (f 1 > 0 > f 2) produces a positive magnification and the

  3. Refracting telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refracting_telescope

    The Keplerian telescope, invented by Johannes Kepler in 1611, is an improvement on Galileo's design. [12] It uses a convex lens as the eyepiece instead of Galileo's concave one. The advantage of this arrangement is that the rays of light emerging from the eyepiece [dubious – discuss] are converging.

  4. Optical telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_telescope

    The Large Binocular Telescope at the Mount Graham International Observatory in Arizona uses two curved mirrors to gather light. An optical telescope is a telescope that 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.

  5. Eyepiece - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyepiece

    A simple convex lens placed after the focus of the objective lens presents the viewer with a magnified inverted image. This configuration may have been used in the first refracting telescopes from the Netherlands and was proposed as a way to have a much wider field of view and higher magnification in telescopes in Johannes Kepler 's 1611 book ...

  6. History of the telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_telescope

    The design of these early refracting telescopes consisted of a convex objective lens and a concave eyepiece. Galileo improved on this design the following year and applied it to astronomy. In 1611, Johannes Kepler described how a far more useful telescope could be made with a convex objective lens and a convex eyepiece lens.

  7. Focal length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_length

    For a thin lens in air, the focal length is the distance from the center of the lens to the principal foci (or focal points) of the lens.For a converging lens (for example a convex lens), the focal length is positive and is the distance at which a beam of collimated light will be focused to a single spot.
