The microscopic telescope evolution

Well, in the shower, a great vision lit up while memories
was immerged in school years science lab. My father
got me a microscope (with chromatic aberrations like
an achromat) for my science class); it didn't even have
a fine speed focuser :-(. Yes, my highschool science lab
did have better *professional* microscopes, but I got years
of fun out of the el cheapo ;-). As we know from the
history of microscopes, it evolved from being optical to
electronics with the electron microscope. Diving deeper
into the pool of thought, I wonder why there was no
reflecting microscope, you know made with mirrors ;-)?

Perphas the telescopes will go the ways of the microscopes,
with the CCD as the forerunner of the "electron telescope" ;-)? And we all know how much more the elecron microscope can magnify over the optical ones ;-). I would call this new generation of telescopes the, "Teletron 102" ;-).

PS Did I do a good trolling, oops I meant strolling job ;-)?
