For this reason, itis usual to leave the distance between the lenses unal-tered and to vary only the distance of the object to suitdistinct vision. It is, however, convenient to have thepower of changing the distance between the glasses, asby that a choice of magnifying powers between certainlimits may be obtained, and for this purpose the object glassesinand eye glasses are set in different tubes. different tubes.

If the field lens of the astronomical telescope bereplaced by a field reflector IIN, whose optical centreis at (7, as indicated in the figure, we have the commonastronomical reflecting telescope.
