2x ED Barlow Lens - 2″ Premium Magnification Multiplier
Double your magnification possibilities without compromising image quality! This 2x ED Barlow lens with 2-inch fitting is the smart way to expand your eyepiece collection economically while maintaining exceptional optical performance.
Superior ED Glass Technology
What makes this Barlow lens special? The answer lies in its dual-element Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass construction. This advanced optical design minimizes chromatic aberration - the color fringing that plagues standard Barlow lenses. The result is sharp, color-accurate images that rival dedicated short focal length eyepieces, but at a fraction of the cost.
Economical Way to Expand Your Eyepiece Arsenal
A Barlow lens economically expands your magnification options. For example, if you have a 28mm eyepiece, this Barlow effectively gives you an additional 14mm eyepiece. Have a 20mm? Now you also have a 10mm. It's like doubling your eyepiece collection instantly!
Versatile 2-inch Design with Reducer
This premium Barlow features a 2-inch barrel that accepts both 2-inch and 1.25-inch eyepieces. The included reducer adapter seamlessly converts from 2-inch to 1.25-inch, making it compatible with virtually any eyepiece in your collection. The reducer also features a 2-inch (M48) filter thread, allowing you to use standard astronomical filters.
Dual-Purpose Design for Astrophotography
Here's a brilliant feature: the optical section is detachable! This means the tube can be used separately as a 50mm extension tube for astrophotography, perfect for achieving proper focus with cameras or other imaging equipment. It's essentially two accessories in one!
Professional-Grade Construction
Quality is in the details. The Barlow features brass compression rings on both the 2-inch and 1.25-inch fittings, ensuring secure, scratch-free eyepiece retention without marring your valuable optics. The threaded plastic housing is both lightweight and durable, designed to withstand years of regular use.
How It Works
Simply insert the Barlow into your telescope's focuser, then insert your eyepiece into the Barlow. The 2x magnification factor doubles the effective magnification of any eyepiece you use. The ED glass ensures that this increased magnification doesn't come at the cost of image quality - colors remain true and details stay sharp.
