Newtons catadioptric telescope, 1672
Newtons catadioptric telescope. 17th-century diagrams showing the optics and alignment of the lenses in the new catadioptric telescope proposed by English physicist Isaac Newton (1642-1727). This telescope combines both refraction (using lenses) and reflection (using mirrors). Newton carried out much research in the field of optics, having built the first practical reflecting telescope in 1668. These diagrams were published in 1672 in issue 81, volume 7 of the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Newton's groundbreaking invention, the catadioptric telescope, which revolutionized the field of astronomy in 1672. Crafted by English physicist Isaac Newton himself, this ingenious device ingeniously combines both refraction and reflection to capture celestial wonders with unprecedented clarity. The intricate diagrams depicted here offer a glimpse into the inner workings of this technological marvel. By utilizing lenses for refraction and mirrors for reflection, Newton's telescope harnessed light rays in a truly innovative way. These diagrams were originally published in issue 81 of volume 7 of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, a testament to their significance within scientific circles. Newton's relentless pursuit of knowledge led him to construct the first practical reflecting telescope in 1668. Building upon his previous achievements, he further refined his design with this catadioptric masterpiece. With its precise alignment and advanced optics, it allowed astronomers to observe comets and other astronomical phenomena with unparalleled precision. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, we are reminded not only of Newton's brilliance but also of the immense impact his inventions had on our understanding of the universe. This print serves as a tribute to an era when scientific exploration was driven by curiosity and ingenuity – an era that continues to inspire us centuries later.
