Catadioptric (Telescope) 
A catadioptric optical system is one that uses both lenses and mirrors to form the image. Flat mirrors, panes of flat glass, and prisms which are used to reflect the light beam about, do not count in making this determination. Common catadioptric systems include Schmidt-Cassegrains and Maksutovs, but there are lots of others.
