TeleVue 3x Barlow Lens

Offered in 3x magnification, Tele Vue's 1.25" Barlows give you optimal magnification capabilities. Features include parfocalization, 1.25" filter threads, captive lock screws that won't fall out and full multi-coatings.

Properly designed Barlows do wonderful things: They amplify power, slow the telescope's f/# (improving eyepiece sharpness), and give designers the opportunity to compensate for eyepiece aberrations.


Tele Vue Barlows use multi-coated high index glasses for optimum aberration correction, exceptional contrast with virtually no light loss. Observed performance is aberration free, even when tested with f/4 scopes. They even improve our competitor's eyepieces and telescopes!


Compromise image quality in any part of the optical chain and you've compromised every part! Tele Vue product design and execution deliver consummate satisfaction. Every Tele Vue Barlow must pass the same rigorous f/4, full field testing as all our eyepieces. All Tele Vue Barlows now use brass clamp rings for secure, nonmarring holding of eyepieces and accessories.

Julian Q. ★★★★★

I was worried the extra magnification would make focusing a nightmare, but the captive lock ring keeps everything steady and aligned. Jupiter's bands really popped at 3x with my 9mm eyepiece.

Emma ★★★★★

The parfocalization is a game changer—I swapped eyepieces and barely had to touch the focuser. The captive lock ring feels solid and keeps everything snug, and those 1.25" filter threads make adding a moon filter effortless.

Claire ★★★★★

Was worried the captive lock ring would be fiddly, but it holds my eyepieces securely without any slipping. The 1.25" filter threads make adding a moon filter effortless.
