Newtonian the person, company or institution that created the mirror concave paraboloidal equal to aperture (except for Schmidt which has aperture smaller than mirror diameter) material and other engineering details or primary mirror diameter reflector plane A class of reflecting telescope developed by Sir Issac Newton with a paraboloidal primary mirror and a small, plane secondary mirror at 45°; to deflect the focus of the primary to a position outside the tube near the top of the telescope.
