Eyepiece with a Barlow like tube

From the little I know of telescopes it seems that the main function of a Barlow is to increase the magnification of an eyepiece, and so when it is used on its own with a camera it naturally doesn't provide much magnification.

Is there an eyepiece/barlow "thing" that has the magnification of say a 10mm eyepiece (used with a 1000 mirror) but also has the tube of a Barlow that will accept a camera?
I want to connect an OM-1 without its lens to the telescope using only the Barlow/eyepiece 'thing'.
The OM-1 has a 1 1/4" adaptor that fits into a Barlow.
