The course adjustment knob raises and lowers the stage of the microscope. This knob is mainly used on the scanning and low power knob to simply find the specimen. When trying to focus directly, use the fine adjustment knob.
The stage of the microscope, where the specimen is placed, does not move when the adjustment knob is turned. Instead, the focus of the microscope is adjusted by moving the stage up and down by use of the adjustment knob.

The fine adjustment knob on a microscope is typically located on one side of the base near the coarse adjustment knob. It is used to make precise focusing adjustments when viewing a specimen under high magnification.
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.
The course adjustment knob on a microscope is used to quickly focus on the specimen by moving the objective lens up or down. It is typically used for initial rough focusing before using the fine adjustment knob for precise focusing.
You should turn the coarse adjustment knob to raise the body tube of a microscope. This knob is larger and moves the body tube more quickly than the fine adjustment knob, which is used for precise focusing.
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.
After you adjust the coarse adjustment knob, the fine adjustment knob makes it sharper or clearer.
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 coarse-adjustment knob moves the body tube up and down to allow focusing of the image.
