More differences between microscope and telescope are given in the table below.

Microscope Vs Telescope

  Microscope   Telescope
  1: It is used to see very small objects. 1:It is used to see large and distant objects.
2:In the microscope focal length of the eyepiece lens is greater than the focal length of the objective lens. 2:In telescope focal length of the objective is greater than the eyepiece.
3:The aperture of the objective is small. 3:The aperture of the objective is large.
4:For higher magnification focal length of the object should be small. 4:For higher magnification focal length of the objective should be large.
