Can we use neutrinos in the modern electronic devices such as Telescopes for capturing images, which are far from current human reach?

probably not, because neutrinos are very hard to detect: most of them would go straight through the imaging device without registering their presence- thus, to catch enough to make an image, the detector would need to be gigantic: perhaps thousands of meters on a side or more. In addition, because of that property (they interact almost not at all with matter) it would be impossible to construct a lens array which would bring a neutrino "image" into focus on the imaging device.
