Homemade telescope for students

It took an hour, with the cost of 90,000 - 600,000 VND, the students were able to assemble a telescope .

This is the solution of Mr. Dinh Xuan Quang, a chemistry teacher, Luong Van Tuy High School, Ninh Binh City. You can use simple materials such as concave mirrors that can be purchased or self-sharpened from construction glass, plaster castings, grinding powder, coated silver in a school chemistry laboratory; Eyepieces can take advantage of microscopic eyepieces or be made from broken camera lenses. The tilt of the prism, the concave mirror, the eyepiece will be precisely adjusted by the fine-tuned screws .

With low cost, utilizing materials, but homemade telescopes can achieve the same quality as industrial telescopes produced on modern lines, from specialized materials, high cost.

Glass can be used to replace binoculars when observing targets on the ground, or when observing the moon, planets . Especially through glass manufacturing, it will help you combine the theory and practice, stimulates a passion for science.

With the advantages of simple materials and tools, it is possible to replicate the solution for all schools, universities and individuals who need to manufacture and use. The manufacturing of telescopes will help students apply the knowledge of optical geometry, astronomy of physics, practice training of machining techniques, armor of technology, stimulating students to be drunk passionate, creative in learning.
