About Explore Scientific FE03-125

Let the Explore Scientific 3x Barlow Focal Extender, with its 1.25" Barrel and 4 Elements, elevate your imaging and visual applications by extending the effective focal length of your lens. This high-quality focal extender is designed to provide consistent magnification, regardless of its placement in the optical chain, making it an ideal choice for both amateur and professional astronomers.

Unlike a standard Barlow or tele-negative lens, the Explore Scientific Focal Extender maintains its magnification even when the distance is altered. Whether you place it in front of your diagonal or behind it, you can be assured of achieving the promised 3x magnification. This unique feature eliminates the variability that can occur with other lenses, where magnification can change based on placement.

This Focal Extender is not only perfect for enhancing the magnification of a lower power eyepiece for visual observations but also excels in imaging applications. Its design allows for the introduction of accessories such as a flip mirror or filter wheel between the Focal Extender and a CCD camera, without affecting the magnification. This flexibility makes it an invaluable tool for astro-photography, ensuring consistent, high-quality images regardless of the distance to the focused image.

Experience the difference with the Explore Scientific 3x Barlow Focal Extender, a product that truly lives up to its name by offering consistent, high magnification across a range of applications.

Explore Scientific FE03-125 Features

  • More Magnification Choices without Sacrificing Eye Relief: A good Focal Extender adds some real versatility to your telescope accessory line-up. First of all, it allows you to increase the magnification of any eyepiece with the same barrel size that you already own
  • Optimized Optical Design: Explore Focal Extenders are optimized through each design, fabrication and testing process to produce high contrast, high resolution images
  • Durable Coatings & Finishing Touches: Each of the four elements in your Explore Scientific Focal Extender is fully multi-coated with EMD enhanced coatings, resulting in bright, sharp images; and every element has blackened edges to reduce internal reflections and increase contrast
  • The insert barrel of each extender is double-tapered to allow smooth insertion to and removal from a telescope's eyepiece holder, focuser or diagonal, however dimension of the taper helps prevent the focal extender from falling out of telescope should the set-screw holding it in place become loose
