  • All Powermates are threaded for use with like-sized eyepiece filters
  • Brass compression rings keep inserted eyepieces securely in-place without scratching
  • Powermates for 1.25" eyepieces are available in 2.5x and 5x models
  • Powermates for 2" telescoope eyepieces are available in 2x and 4x models

Tele Vue went beyond the Barlow concept to achieve the goal of a compact, high power, fully corrected image amplifier. The Powermate consists of a negative doublet plus a positive "pupil-correcting" doublet lens. This 4-element system provides the magnifying function of a Barlow without its limitations by restoring the field rays back to their original direction, as if the Powermate were not there. The result is a pure magnification increase. Vignetting, edge field aberrations and pupil movement are minimized. In addition to full multi-coating, Tele Vue Powermates include safety undercuts where practical on the chrome barrel, captive lock screws that can?t fall out, and filter threads. Powermates are ideal for high magnification CCD astrophotography or film imaging. The Powermate is not a Barlow so the Tele Vue Panoptic-Barlow interface is not needed.
