Hookes telescopes, 17th century
Hookes telescopes. 17th-century engraving with labelled diagrams showing telescope equipment and mechanisms described by English scientist Robert Hooke (1635-1703). The diagrams include eight variant optical arrangements devised by Hooke for shortening telescopes (across top) and a micrometer instrument (across bottom). The telescope arrangements show light rays being reflected by various mirrors inside the telescope tub before reaching the observers eye. At bottom left is a universal joint. This is plate 1 from Hookes A Description of Helioscopes (1676). Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
