Question
Hi we can use this lense in telescope or not

Answer

The objective lens is the primary component of image formation in the microscope. The intermediary lenses in the optics body and the eyepieces make this primary image larger or smaller as desired. The focal length of the objective lens determines its distance from the specimen. For example, an objective with a 250mm focal length will position the lens (or bottom of the optics body) approximately 250mm (10 inches) from the patients mouth.
