  93506 Celestron Ultima Barlow Lens 2x 1.25".
Barlow lenses offer an easy, economical way to increase the magnification range of your eyepieces, and Celestron carries an assortment of these highly useful lenses.
A Barlow lens doubles the magnifying power of your eyepiece by doubling its effective focal length.
For example, an 18mm eyepiece used with a 2x Barlow lens would have the magnifying power of a 9mm eyepiece.

  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Gravitational lens   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-02)
A gravitational lens is formed when the light from a very distant, bright source (such as a quasar) is "bent" around a massive object (such as a massive galaxy) between the source object and the observer.
In 1937, Fritz Zwicky first considered the case where a galaxy could act as a lens, something that according to his calculations should be well within the reach of observations.
This gravitational lens was discovered accidentally by Dennis Walsh, Bob Carswell, and Ray Weymann using the Kitt Peak National Observatory 2.1 meter telescope.

 Eyepiece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An eyepiece, or ocular lens, is a type of lens that is attached to a variety of optical devices such as telescopes and microscopes.
Some coatings may also absorb light that is not being passed through the lens in a process called total internal reflection where the light incident on the film is at a shallow angle.
They vary in their internal lens configuration and different designs are sometimes more appropriate both for different types of viewing, and for different types of telescope.

 How a Barlow Lens works
A Barlow is a negative (diverging) lens that is placed between the objective lens (or primary mirror – from now on these words will be used interchangeably) and the eyepiece of a telescope.
The amplification factor of a Barlow is a function of its position in relation to the eyepiece and the objective lens (or primary mirror).
This is the approximate focal length of the Barlow.

 the astroscopic labs - article: barlow lens projection astro photography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-02)
The Barlow Lens Projection increases the focal length of a telescope by a factor, called amplification factor.
When used for astrophotography the factor will slighty be bigger than noted on the Barlow lens because of the different distance of the lens to imager compared with an eyepiece.
The Barlow Lens itself is usually a group of lenses with a negative power and build into a tube that fits the focuser.

 Using a Barlow Lens
The Barlow lens was invented by Peter Barlow (1776-1862) an English writer on pure and applied mathematics.
A Barlow lens is a concave lens that when placed between a telescopes objective lens or mirror and the eyepiece, will increase the magnification of the telescope.
If you attach a 2x Barlow lens to that eyepiece you will double the effective magnification of that eyepiece to 100x.

 Barlow lens
A diverging lens, placed in front of the focal point of a telescope, that increases both magnification and eye relief when used in conjunction with an eyepiece.
The magnification is typically doubled, though at the cost of a fainter image.
Invented in 1834 by the English engineer and mathematician Peter Barlow (1776-1862), the lens is used commonly by amateur astronomers.
