Microscope:Magnifying glass

Astronomical Telescope:Old Nautical spyglass

Edited to add… I just had another thought:
Microscope:Magnifying glass

Telescope: Reading glasses

(It kind of works, except the analogy would be more apt with binoculars:eyeglasses. Maybe it should be Telescope:Monocle)

uh, binoculars?

microscopes and magnifying glasses are used to study things invisible to our naked eyes, with the microscope being the stronger one. telescopes are used to look far, and something with the same purpose only a lower power would be a pair of binoculars.

No matter what word is used, magnify, amplify, light gathering, magnifying glass and telescope are the same.
