WHAT DOES CASSEGRAIN TELESCOPE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cassegrain reflector

The Cassegrain reflector is a combination of a primary concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror, often used in optical telescopes and radio antennas. In a symmetrical Cassegrain both mirrors are aligned about the optical axis, and the primary mirror usually contains a hole in the centre thus permitting the light to reach an eyepiece, a camera, or a light detector. Alternatively, as in many radio telescopes, the final focus may be in front of the primary. In an asymmetrical Cassegrain, the mirror may be tilted to avoid obscuration of the primary or the need for a hole in the primary mirror. The classic Cassegrain configuration uses a parabolic reflector as the primary while the secondary mirror is hyperbolic. Modern variants often have a hyperbolic primary for increased performance, or the primary and/or secondary are spherical or elliptical for ease of manufacturing. The Cassegrain reflector is named after a published reflecting telescope design that appeared in the April 25, 1672 Journal des sçavans which has been attributed to Laurent Cassegrain.

Definition of Cassegrain telescope in the English dictionary

The definition of Cassegrain telescope in the dictionary is an astronomical reflecting telescope in which incident light is reflected from a large concave paraboloid mirror onto a smaller convex hyperboloid mirror and then back through a hole in the concave mirror to form the image.
