One hundred and eight years have passed since Ludwig Schupmann took out a patent on an 'Optical correcting device for refracting telescopes'. The Schupmann telescope did not supersede or even compete with the classical refractor, although a fifteen-inch version was made for a German observatory. There the matter has stood up until the present day. Schupmann telescopes are made by enthusiastic amateurs, and some find application in specialised astronomical optics; but this type of telescope, also known as a 'Dialyte', never became a major force in telescope design. The authors of this paper describe how their long term research into practical dialyte design has resulted in a twentyfirst century alternative to the classical refractor.
