Explore Scientific 5x Barlow Focal Extender, 1.25" Barrel, 4 Elements

Become an explorer of the cosmos with the Explore Scientific 5x Barlow Focal Extender. This high-quality optical accessory, featuring a 1.25" barrel and 4 elements, is designed to enhance your viewing and imaging experience by extending the effective focal length of the lens it is paired with. This innovative product offers increased magnification for both visual and imaging applications, making it a versatile addition to your telescope or microscope setup.

Unlike standard Barlow or tele-negative lenses, the Explore Scientific Focal Extender maintains consistent magnification regardless of its placement in the optical chain. This means whether you place it in front of your diagonal or behind it, you're guaranteed to achieve the promised 5x magnification. This user-friendly feature eliminates the guesswork and variability often associated with traditional Barlow lenses, where magnification can change based on lens placement.

Furthermore, the Explore Scientific Focal Extender is particularly beneficial for imaging and astro-photography. You can introduce accessories like a flip mirror or filter wheel between the Focal Extender and a CCD camera without worrying about altering the magnification. This is due to the extender's unique design, which ensures the magnification remains constant, even if the distance to the focused image increases.

In essence, the Explore Scientific 5x Barlow Focal Extender is a durable, reliable tool that offers consistent, high magnification for both visual observations and imaging applications. Whether you're a seasoned astronomer or a budding stargazer, this product is sure to enhance your exploration of the universe.
