Invented in the early 1800s by British mathematics professor Peter Barlow, it is a simple concave (negative) lens that, when placed between a telescope's objective lens or mirror and the eyepiece, amplifies the magnifying power of the instrument.
Perhaps the biggest benefit of a barlow is that it doubles the number of magnifications available to you, effectively doubling the number of eyepieces in your repertoire.
A barlow is very simple to use: It is inserted in place of the eyepiece, and the eyepiece is then inserted into the barlow.

Barlow was one of a group including Edward Sabine, Charles Babbage, John Herschel, and Michael Faraday interested in magnetic and geomagnetic subjects.
Barlow commented, "Hitherto we have found a very close approximation between the laws of magnetism appertaining to a simple iron ball and the observed magnetic phenomena of the earth." However, when he applied the analogy to predict the position of the terrestrial magnetic axis, it failed to yield a close match.
By 1831 Barlow subsumed all magnetic phenomena to the action of electricity and speculated that the sun's heat was the ultimate cause of terrestrial magnetism.
