The different eyepiece found in this model are 25 mm, 12.5 mm, 4 mm. they vary in the magnification ability and the lower power of eyepiece is suitable to observe the surface of the objects and when the power of the eye piece is increased the in-depth of the sky and the details of the objects can be studied.
- Barlow lens – This lens is been placed before the eyepiece in a way to increase the magnifying power of the eyepiece. The 3x Barlow lens is the one found in Tasco Luminova 40060675 675×60mm Refractor Telescope.
