A Barlow lens, named after mathematician Peter Barlow, is an optical instrument used to increase the magnification of your eyepiece for visual astronomy, or extend the focal length of your telescope for astrophotography.

2020年11月9日 · A focal extender, sometimes called Barlow lens, increases the effective focal length of a telescope and therefore increases the magnification of a given eyepiece used with that telescope.

2023年8月31日 · The Celestron 93326 Omni Barlow Lenses is our editor’s choice and one of the highest recommended picks of the day. This Barlow lens has a silver exterior, although that won’t matter to a lot of astronomers. However, some of you …

A Barlow is a diverging or concave lens placed between the telescope’s eyepiece and the objective lens or primary mirror. The lens diverges the light, causing it to spread out and create a virtual focal point farther away from the telescope than the original focal point.

The Barlow lens, named after Peter Barlow, is a diverging lens which, used in series with other optics in an optical system, increases the effective focal length of an optical system as perceived by all components that are after it in the system. The practical result is that inserting a Barlow lens magnifies the image.

2023年7月29日 · A Barlow lens is a device you can use in a telescope before an eyepiece to increase the magnification you would normally get. They do this by decreasing the focal length of your optical chain by the number of times they are rated for (1.5x, 2x, 3x, etc).

2020年7月29日 · A Barlow lens magnifies your telescope achromatism and can introduce other optical aberration in the image. A Barlow lens increases the optical resolution of your setup and you can be easily oversampling your image.

2023年12月9日 · Barlow lenses are an essential component of modern telescopes and play a crucial role in magnifying the image of distant celestial objects. They are small, compact lenses that are placed between the eyepiece and the main telescope tube.

A Barlow lens is a simple and cost-effective way to increase the magnification of a telescope, using one or more lens elements to extend the effective focal length of the telescope’s objective lens.

2024年1月19日 · Barlow lenses are diverging optical devices used to increase magnification in telescopes and microscopes. These negative lenses extend the effective focal length of optical systems, doubling or tripling magnification without replacing existing components.
