 Ray path in Galilean telescope Galilean telescope () The first type of astronomical telescope, developed in 1609 by Galileo from Hans Lippershey's ‘magic tubes’. It is a refractor made up from a single long-focus object lens and a powerful diverging lens used as an eyepiece (see illustration). This optical system, which gives an upright image, survives in modern opera glasses. Galileo's best telescopes had a magnification of about 30 times; although very imperfect, they led to the great achievements of 17th-century astronomy. See also telescope.
