  2. Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_Optics_Space...

    One potential option was to insert corrective optics, lenses or mirrors in the telescope tube between the primary mirror and the secondary reflector. However the tube was too narrow for even the smallest astronaut to slither down it, leading to a search for a means of inserting the required corrective components into the tube.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflecting_telescope

    A convex secondary mirror is placed just to the side of the light entering the telescope, and positioned afocally so as to send parallel light on to the tertiary. The concave tertiary mirror is positioned exactly twice as far to the side of the entering beam as was the convex secondary, and its own radius of curvature distant from the secondary.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-mirror_telescope

    A liquid-mirror telescope. In this design, the optical sensors are mounted above the mirror, in a module at its focus, and the motor and bearings that turn the mirror are in the same module as the sensors. The mirror is suspended below. Liquid-mirror telescopes are telescopes with mirrors made

  5. Secondary mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_mirror

    The secondary mirror assembly of the Keck Telescope and its relationship to the primary mirror. A secondary mirror (or secondary) is the second deflecting or focusing mirror element in a reflecting telescope. Light gathered by the primary mirror is directed towards a focal point typically past the location of the secondary.

  6. Mangin mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangin_mirror

    Since light passes through the glass twice, the overall system acts like a triplet lens. [4] The Mangin mirror was invented in 1874 [1] by a French military engineer named Colonel Alphonse Mangin as a substitute for the more difficult to manufacture parabolic reflecting mirror for use in searchlights. Since the catadioptric design eliminated ...

    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.
