If you would consider a non visible light telecope, then the first such telescope was the gamma ray observatory OAO-1, which was set into orbit by NASA. For visible light it is was with the launch of Hubble by NASA in 1990.
Isaac Newton who discovered the Laws of Motion is one famous scientist - Another might be Einstein who discovered the Laws of reativity - showing that nothing can exceed the speed of light.
Galileo spoke of how he tried to measure the speed of light by having two people with covered lanterns stand far apart, having one open the lantern, then having the other open HIS lantern when he saw the first lantern open, and finally having the first person measure the time it took between his initial opening of his lantern and his seeing of the second lantern. Galileo could not measure any difference between the delay of the first person seeing the second lantern opening, whether the two people were very close to each other or half a mile apart. Galileo thus concluded that the speed of light was "if not infinite, then exceedingly fast."
oh Galilieo
The shape of the lens means light near the top of the lens is bent down and light near the bottom of the lens is bent up. Somewhere inside the tube the light beams cross, but before they can spread out again the eyepiece lens bends the light beams again and sends them to the eye.
Galileo Galilei, an Italian scientist, is credited with the discovery that heavy and light bodies of the same substance fall at the same speed in a vacuum. He conducted experiments to demonstrate this principle of free fall.
Isaac Newton was the scientist who first discovered that white light is a mixture of a rainbow spectrum of light rays through his experiments with prisms in the 17th century.
Isaac Newton is credited with being the first scientist to discover that white light is actually composed of a spectrum of colors. He achieved this by passing white light through a prism, which separated it into its component colors, creating a rainbow spectrum.
This begs the question by assuming that it was invented by a scientist. Ask the question "who invented the light bulb" - you'll get a better answer.

The first electric light was made in 1800 by Humphry Davy, an English scientist.

it gave off light
It allows a scientist to measure the wavelength of light.
Garrett Morgan is most famous as an inventor. He invented the first stop light.
