| Abstract: | Galileo's presentation of the refinement of the telescope, by which he was able to view heavens and the enormous influence it had, created vast interest and raised controversies among scholars. Although scholars who dealt with the subject agreed that by using long focal lenses and a diaphragm, Galileo was able to improve the magnification and quality of the image, still the common view is that Galileo was able to build the telescope because he was a talented artisan and not because he colud acquire knowledge about the laws of optics that lay behind his success. This paper will shed new light upon and clarifies the empirical working methods and the extent of Galileo's knowledge of the optical principles involved in the construction of the telescope |
