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 primary mirror designed to correct the optical aberrations of the mirror. Schmidt corrector plate: An aspheric-shaped corrector plate used in the Schmidt telescope.
A Serrurier truss tube assembly on the Carl Zeiss Cassegrain telescope in Ostrowik near Warsaw.. A Serrurier truss is used in telescope tube assembly construction. The design was created in 1935 by engineer Mark U. Serrurier when he was working on the Mount Palomar 200 in (5.1 m) Hale Telescope. [1]
There are always more telescopes (Spitzer, Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Pan-STARRS, solar telescopes, notable historical ones like Herschel's 40-foot telescope and the Leviathan of Parsonstown), but you have a good assortment and I don't want to clutter the diagram more. The focus seems to be showing the upcoming generation of extremely large ...
The mirror assembly from the front with primary mirrors attached, November 2016 The secondary mirror being cleaned with carbon dioxide snow. Optical Telescope Element (OTE) is a sub-section of the James Webb Space Telescope, a large infrared space telescope launched on 25 December 2021, [1] consisting of its main mirror, secondary mirrors, the framework and controls to support the mirrors, and ...
16) Large Binocular Telescope, 11.8 m effective (two 8.4‑m telescopes on a common mount), 2005 and 2006; each individual telescope has the largest monolithic (i.e. non-segmented) mirror in an optical telescope, while the combined effective light collecting area is the largest for any optical telescope in non-interferometric mode
There are two common photomultiplier orientations, the head-on or end-on (transmission mode) design, as shown above, where light enters the flat, circular top of the tube and passes the photocathode, and the side-on design (reflection mode), where light enters at a particular spot on the side of the tube, and impacts on an opaque photocathode.
To raise the telescope (altitude), just lift the tube and the trunnions will slide over the four supports. To move the telescope left or right (azimuth), push or pull the top rim of the OTA (some have a dedicated handle) so that the pivoting rocker box slides over the ground board's three supports.

Background: The focus tube and main telescope tube containing the achromatic doublet objective lens. The Galileoscope uses a 32 mm ( 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) focuser, giving the telescope a great deal of versatility, since this is the standard size for eyepieces used in most amateur and some professional telescopes.
