What is a Barlow Lens?
A Barlow is a negative (diverging) lens that is placed between the objective lens (or primary mirror) and the eyepiece of a telescope. It increases the effective focal length of an objective lens, thereby increasing the magnification. The idea is that 2 eyepieces and a Barlow will give you the flexibility of magnification of 4 eyepieces, and will give higher magnifications with less powerful eyepieces.

Pay Attention:
The barlow lens’ role is not to improve image quality;but in order to comfort .
Even a well made barlow will little damage on the imaging quality.
When the barlow lens and eyepiece using together and the magnification is over the biggest magnification;the barlow lens observation effect appears nearly zero or imaging becomes blurred;in order to reduce the influence of imaging;careful selection of barlow at different magnification.
