 PROFILE
Meade Instruments has been opening windows to the universe for nearly three decades as the world's top telescope maker. Amateur astronomers account for 60% of sales, but the company's high-end Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes are also popular with universities, scientific laboratories, and aerospace companies. Stargazers can spend as much as $15,000 on one of the 50-plus models of telescopes Meade sells through its network of 500 authorized dealers, which include Wal-Mart and the Discovery Channel Stores. Meade also offers binoculars, microscopes, and telescope software and accessories. The company has widened its international scope by purchasing German rival Bresser Optik.
