Telescope \Tel"e*scope\, n. [Gr. [?] viewing afar, farseeing;       [?] far, far off + [?] a watcher, akin to [?] to view: cf. F.       t[82]lescope. See {Telegraph}, and {-scope}.]       An optical instrument used in viewing distant objects, as the       heavenly bodies.          Note: A telescope assists the eye chiefly in two ways; first,                by enlarging the visual angle under which a distant                object is seen, and thus magnifying that object; and,                secondly, by collecting, and conveying to the eye, a                larger beam of light than would enter the naked organ,                thus rendering objects distinct and visible which would                otherwise be indistinct and or invisible. Its essential                parts are the object glass, or concave mirror, which                collects the beam of light, and forms an image of the                object, and the eyeglass, which is a microscope, by                which the image is magnified.          {Achromatic telescope}. See under {Achromatic}.          {Aplanatic telescope}, a telescope having an aplanatic             eyepiece.          {Astronomical telescope}, a telescope which has a simple             eyepiece so constructed or used as not to reverse the             image formed by the object glass, and consequently             exhibits objects inverted, which is not a hindrance in             astronomical observations.          {Cassegrainian telescope}, a reflecting telescope invented by             Cassegrain, which differs from the Gregorian only in             having the secondary speculum convex instead of concave,             and placed nearer the large speculum. The Cassegrainian             represents objects inverted; the Gregorian, in their             natural position. The Melbourne telescope (see Illust.             under {Reflecting telescope}, below) is a Cassegrainian             telescope.          {Dialytic telescope}. See under {Dialytic}.          {Equatorial telescope}. See the Note under {Equatorial}.          {Galilean telescope}, a refracting telescope in which the             eyeglass is a concave instead of a convex lens, as in the             common opera glass. This was the construction originally             adopted by Galileo, the inventor of the instrument. It             exhibits the objects erect, that is, in their natural             positions.          {Gregorian telescope}, a form of reflecting telescope. See             under {Gregorian}.          {Herschelian telescope}, a reflecting telescope of the form             invented by Sir William Herschel, in which only one             speculum is employed, by means of which an image of the             object is formed near one side of the open end of the             tube, and to this the eyeglass is applied directly.          {Newtonian telescope}, a form of reflecting telescope. See             under {Newtonian}.          {Photographic telescope}, a telescope specially constructed             to make photographs of the heavenly bodies.          {Prism telescope}. See {Teinoscope}.          {Reflecting telescope}, a telescope in which the image is             formed by a speculum or mirror (or usually by two             speculums, a large one at the lower end of the telescope,             and the smaller one near the open end) instead of an             object glass. See {Gregorian, Cassegrainian, Herschelian,             [and] Newtonian, telescopes}, above.          {Refracting telescope}, a telescope in which the image is             formed by refraction through an object glass.          {Telescope carp} (Zo[94]l.), the telescope fish.          {Telescope fish} (Zo[94]l.), a monstrous variety of the             goldfish having very protuberant eyes.          {Telescope fly} (Zo[94]l.), any two-winged fly of the genus             {Diopsis}, native of Africa and Asia. The telescope flies             are remarkable for having the eyes raised on very long             stalks.          {Telescope shell} (Zo[94]l.), an elongated gastropod             ({Cerithium telescopium}) having numerous flattened             whorls.          {Telescope sight} (Firearms), a slender telescope attached to             the barrel, having cross wires in the eyepiece and used as             a sight.          {Terrestrial telescope}, a telescope whose eyepiece has one             or two lenses more than the astronomical, for the purpose             of inverting the image, and exhibiting objects erect.
