ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a fiber optic telescope composed of at least one fiber optic telescopic cell. The fiber optic cell is composed of a refracted light conveyor and a reflected light retriever. The refracted light conveyor is comprised of a lens, a cone, a dual diametered fiber optic cable, a fiber optic connector, a last fiber optic cable, and an eyepiece or other suitable light receiving apparatus. The reflected light retriever is comprised of six fiber optic cables, two fiber optic connectors, and two secondary fiber optic cables. The refracted light conveyor and the reflected light retriever are held together by a holder, an adjuster, and a washer. The fiber optic telescope overcomes problems associated with the propagation of light in a telescope: reflection, refraction, image formulation and magnification. Additionally the fiber optic telescope is capable of propagating solar light with an efficiency of 95%.
