Bino Viewer and magnification calc

[FI93 (Norm)]

I have a Saxon bino viewer with a internal threaded nose piece.
I bought a Bintel 2x Barlow to bring eyepieces into focus, the Barlow has a threaded optical cell that can be removed from the Barlow body and screwed into the bino nose.
Two questions for help please;
1. how do I calculate the magnification when the total Barlow is used as just a 2x Barlow with the bino inserted into the Barlow ( does bino length come into play?).

2. With the Barlow lens cell screwed into the bino nose piece how do I calculate the magnification.

Thanks in advance,
Norm.

It's a bit kind of tedious. The formulas are detailed here:

Using a barlow vs screwing the lens group directly onto the end of the BV will result in less magnification but usually not a lot less. That's because the light path inside the BV is typically a fair bit longer than the barlow itself.

Easiest way is to not go too hardcore with the maths and the formulas but experiment to see what works and how well. (But by all means run some numbers but also let observation be your guiding light.) Defocussing and moving the scope around is a good way to check for undersized field stops (biggest issue with BVs).
