A Barlow slips into the focuser just like any other eyepiece. The eyepiece then slips into the Barlow like it does into the focuser. If you are using Barlows that screw onto the bottom of eyepieces (I'm not aware of any but I'm sure they exist) I would be using a different Barlow. You cannot go wrong with the Tele Vue 2x in either 1.25" or 2".
