Triple magnification and superior optics in the Celestron X-Cel LX 3x Barlow lens body
The Celestron X-Cel LX 3× Barlow lens is the ideal choice for those who want to significantly increase the magnification of their binoculars without compromising image quality. Thanks to its triplet optical construction, fully multiple anti-reflective layers and robust design, it delivers sharp, high-contrast and high-light images even at high magnification.
Key Features:
Magnification: 3x - triples the focal length of the inserted eyepiece.
Clamping diameter: 1.25″ - compatible with all common astronomical telescopes.
Triple optical system (triplet) - excellent aberration correction, excellent sharpness.
Fully multi-coated anti-reflective layers - ensure high light transmission and contrast.
High quality metal body with blackened interior - reduces internal glare, increases image contrast.
Brass pull ring - holds eyepiece securely without scratching the tube.
Thread for 1,25″ filters - possibility to use common astronomical filters.
Recommendations for use:
Barlow's X-Cel LX 3× lens is ideal for:
Observing details on the Moon, planets and binary stars - significantly higher magnification.
Extending the eyepiece - e.g. a 15 mm eyepiece turns into a 5 mm eyepiece.
Users with larger diameter telescopes (130 mm and above) - use higher aperture for higher magnification.
Note: 3x magnification is more demanding on seeing and quality of optics. Recommended for more experienced observers and higher aperture binoculars.
Comparison with conventional Barlow lenses:
Higher magnification than standard 2× models.
Superior optical performance due to triplet construction and premium coatings.
Ideal complement to X-Cel LX or OMNI eyepieces.
