The optical microscope, also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects. Optical microscopes are the oldest design of microscope and were possibly invented in their present compound form in the 17th century. Basic optical microscopes can be very simple, although many complex designs aim to improve resolution and sample contrast. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy will not be covered in this report.

A telescope is an instrument that aids in the observation of remote objects by collecting electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light). Telescope usually consists of two convex lenses: objective and eye piece. The objective is a convex lens of large focal length and large aperture. It usually made of two convex lenses in contact with each other to reduce the chromatic and spherical aberrations. The eye piece is also a convex lens. Its focal length is smaller than that of objective. It is also a combination of two lenses. This report focus on optical telescopes market. This report does not include radio telescopes, infrared telescopes, X-ray and gamma ray telescopes. The Telescope industry can be broken down into several segments, Astronomical Telescope, Monocular Telescope, Binoculars, etc.
