Jan 10, 2004· A Simple Telescope. A simple working telescope requires nothing more than a pair of lenses mounted in a tube. The lens in front, known as the objective, focuses an image; the lens in back, known as the eyepiece, magnifies the image.Although it may seem like a crude device, a simple telescope nicely illustrates the basic working principles of more powerful astronomical instruments.

Newton's solution was simple: He took the lens out of the telescope. Newton replaced the primary lens with a polished, rounded, metal mirror. He experimented with different mixtures of metal and decided on one that was six parts copper to two parts tin. It was almost as bright as expensive, quick-to-corrode silver and would reflect a lot of ...
