Galileo's telescope, which he improved upon in the early 17th century, used a simple design that included an objective lens to gather and focus light. The objective lens in Galileo's telescope is a convex lens, meaning it is thicker in the center than at the edges, which allows it to converge (focus) incoming parallel rays of light to a focal point.
