What is Telescope?

The telescope is an astronomical type. It consists of an eyepiece provided with cross wires at one end of the tube and an objective lens at its other end co-axially. The distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece can be adjusted so that the telescope forms a clear image at the cross wires when a parallel beam from the collimator is incident on it.

The telescope is attached to an arm which is capable of rotation about the same vertical axis as the prism table. A circular scale graduated in a half degree is attached to it. Both the telescope and prism table is provided with radial screws for fixing them in the desired position and tangential screws for fine adjustments.
