Explanation

RETROSPECT means looking back on or reviewing past events or situations. 'Review of the past' is exactly what retrospection means. 'Special kind of telescope' and 'Microscope' are optical instruments, while 'Prism' is a transparent optical element - these are literal objects, not the act of reviewing the past.
