Need help finding a link...

I need to find out what type of lens the hubble telescope uses. I thought it used a Schneider lens, but I may be wrong. Can someone help me find a link that will tell me for sure? Ive tried google, but no luck so far.

These sites talk about the telescope but don't say the name of the lens.🙁
 
The Hubble OTA itself is based on a Ritchie-Cretien design, as are most large optical telescopes these days. As such, the OTA itself uses a pair of mirrors instead of a lens. The onboard cameras, especially the widefield camera, might use a Schneider lens. I don't know.
