telescopically
In collapsing sections
Telescopically means in a manner involving a telescope or the action of telescoping.
Something viewed telescopically is seen through a telescope: The comet is only visible telescopically.
Telescopically also describes parts that slide into one another like the segments of a collapsible telescope: The antenna extends telescopically.
By extension, it can mean with greatly magnified or compressed perspective.
