Re: Diverging lenses



It depends!
In the Galilean telescope (positive objective; negative eyepiece) the
image formed by the objective is presented as a *virtual* object to the
eyepiece.

The eyepiece (either cc or cv) produces a virtual and therefore erect
image of the real and therefore inverted image formed by the objective
lens.
