• Figure A is a Reflecting telescope. The reflecting telescope uses mirrors and convex lenses to collect and focus light. They have A large concave mirror, plane mirror at a 45 degree angle. Light is received from a distant object first strikes the large concave mirror and is brought to a focus. This focused light is reflected by the 45 degree angled and forms a real image. The eyepiece lens system contains a convex lens that enlarges the image.
  • Figure B is a diagram of a reflacting telescope. It uses convex lenses to collect and focus light. When light enters from a distance, it passes through the convex lens called the objective lens. This convex lens forms the real image, and magnifies it. When viewing through the eyepiece, the image will appear enlarged, upside down, and a virtual image of the real object.
