The coarse-adjustment knob moves the body tube up and down to allow focusing of the image.

The function of a microscope's coarse adjustment knob is to improve focus on the object under study by adjusting the lens. Unlike the fine adjustment, coarse adjustment moves the lenses quickly.
Use a coarse adjustment knob (large movement) to get near, then use the fine adjustment knob (small movement) to fine-tune.
The coarse adjustment knob elevates the microscope's stage up and down quickly. The fine adjustment knob does the same thing but more slowly and accurately. In other words, the fine adjustment knob should require more revolutions to elevate the stage as much as the coarse adj. knob does.
The adjustment knob is a component of a microscope that focuses the image of the object being studied. It is used in conjunction with the coarse adjustment knob.

There are two adjustment knobs (coarse and fine) on a microscope so you can move the stage at two different speeds. The coarse moves a lot per revolution, while the fine adjustment knob moves the stage at such small increments that it is nearly impossible to notice when looking from the side. The coarse adjustment knob should be used to get the stage closer to the lens only while you are looking at the microscope from the side. The fine adjustment knob can be used when you are looking into the microscope because there is a much lower chance of running the stage into the lens and breaking it.
The adjustment knob that moves the body tube for focusing with the high-power objective lens is called the fine focus adjustment knob. It allows for precise adjustments to bring the specimen into sharp focus at high magnifications.
The big knob on a microscope is typically called the coarse focus knob. This knob is used to move the objective lenses closer to or further away from the specimen, allowing for rough adjustment of the focus.
The fine adjustment knob in a microscope is used to make small, precise focusing adjustments to bring the specimen into sharp focus. It allows for fine tuning of the focus after coarse adjustments have been made using the coarse adjustment knob.
