in a microscope their is a knob referred to as "fine focus knob" it is meant to change the distance between the lens and the platform.
The Fine Adjustment
Tryin to find the answer is it fine or focus knob?
Adjust the coarse focus as best as possible and then adjust the fine focus knob til it looks really good
For the adjustment of focus, you would have to use the Fine-adjustment knob located on the left and right sides of the microscope arm.
You MUST use the coarse focus knob.
it could be either coarse or fine knob. coarse knob is used to focus image at higher magnification, while fine knob is used to focus on lower magnification
coarse focus. This was by Joseph, hi R.C.S
Course Focus Knob- low Fine Focus Knob- high -MC
If the fine focus knob is turned backwards the depth of the specimen decreases. When the knob is turned forward the depth of the specimen increases.
The fine-adjustment knob moves the body tube slightly to bring the image into sharper focus.
The Fine Adjustment
The fine adjustment, the two little knobs on both sides of a compound microscope, is rotated to move the body tube down or the stage up in tiny distances to help you focus in HIGH power.The fine focus knob is geared with a different ratio than the coarse knob to "fine tune" your focus. It allows for tiny adjustments to the focus setting, rather than larger ones.
The fine adjustment knob is used with the power objective on the microscope. Since the objective is already at the highest objective possible for that microscope, using the coarse adjustment knob would focus to much on the object making the details harder to read. Using the fine adjustment knob, you are able to see the fine details within the object or organism you are studying. The higher the power, the finer the knob and the lower the objective, the coarser the knob and objective.
A coarse knob allows quick movement to roughly focus on a specimen. After which, the fine knob is used to finely hone in on the specimen and bring it in to clear focus.
The rough focus knob is what makes the contents of the slide visible. Once you get it as visible as you can with the rough focus knob, you switch to the fine adjustment and see if you can make the image clearer.

it helps to hold the stage together to see the specimen.
