This is one of those things that I know doesn’t work, but I don’t know the exact reason WHY it doesn’t work. I remember asking a friend in 7th grade biology why I can’t just put a telescope up to a microscope to see even more detail, but he just laughed and no one I’ve ever asked has given me an answer
In: Physics
A microscope relies on photons illuminating a small area to show an image of the really small and minuscule.
A telescope relies on as many photons as possible over a large area, as light tends to scatter over large distances relative to their source.
Also exposure is important as to gather as much light as possible over a given amount of time so the photons can in essence paint a picture on whatever medium your using, be it digital or otherwise.
