This allows for small adjustments to the focus. Usually the large focus is used with smaller powers (not zoomed in as much), to locate the specimen and move it closer (or further away) from the lens. The fine focus knob is used once the specimen is almost in focus, or if you are on high power.

What are the differences between a microscope and a hand lens?

When viewing a specimen through a hand lens, you can see in slightly greater detail than your naked eye, but you may not be able to see micro organisms. With a microscope, you can see things in MUCH greater detail, and you can see micro organisms. With a hand lens, you cannot change the power of magnification, while with a microscope, you can change the power of the magnification. With a hand lens, only one lens is used to magnify an object, while a compound microscope uses two lenses (one in objective lens, one in eyepiece). With a hand lens, you can view a specimen from far away, while an objective lens has to be fairly close to a specimen in order to view it clearly. With a hand lens, you can simply move your hand forward, or backward, to focus on an object. With a microscope, a very complex mechanism is used in order to portray some sort of depth while viewing. This is adjusted by using a coarse, and a fine adjustment knob.
