What are the adjustment knobs on the microscope used to change focus?
the big knob is called the coarse adjustment knob and the smaller one is the fine adjustment knob coarse does a large scale focus, fine does such small scale focus you can only see a difference in how the (item under microscope) looks. You don't see the stage / nosepeice move up or down.
What are the steps to focus a microscope?
Depending on the microscope the steps differ but assuming you are using a light microscope (the only microscope you will use before university). The microscope must be set to the lowest magnification with the stage set as far way as possible (the platform the sample is held on). Then using the coarse focus (the larger knob) bring the stage towards the lens while looking though the eye piece when the sample comes into focus use the fine focus knob (the smaller knob) to bring the image to optimum focus. When this is achieved increases the magnification (by changing to a stronger lens) and using fine focus continue to focus the image and keep repeating the steps till a max focus is achieved. If more information is need let me know as there are more complicated techniques but this should be enough for before a university level depending on what country you are in.
What moves the stage of a microscope up and down?
It is the Coarse Adjustment, but only use it on Low Power.

What is the microscope said to be when the fine adjustment is the only thing needed to be used to focus when in the highest power?

Can you write a sentence with the word molocules in it?
"As the scientist peered closer at the organism under the microscope, he thought he might be able to see the molecules of the thing if he could only focus the microscope enough."
How can you tell than an onion cell has depth?
If it were two-dimensional you would not need to change focus on your microscope to see its structures.
Can really be an electron seen under microscope?
only under an electron microscope wiki it
What does the coarse focus knob on a microscope do?
The coarse focus on a microscope is provided to move the instrument quickly to where it is nearly in focus. Some microscopes only have a coarse focus. The fine focus is used to move with slower and more precise adjustment to where the instrument is exactly in focus.
When do you use fine focus and the coarse focus knobs?
The fine focus knob is used to bring an object into fine focus, while the course focus knob is used to bring an object into approximate focus. The course focus knob should only be used on the low-power and scanning objectives of the light microscope. Using it on the high power microscope is okay, but you should be very careful. It is no recommended to use the course adjustment knob on the oil-emersion objective as it is so close to the stage and could lead to a potential break in the slide. Fine focus adjustment knob is useful to bring out the fine details in the specimen on your slide. Can be used on any of the objectives, but most receptive on the high-power and oil-emersion objectives.

How should the course adjustment on a microscope be turned under low power?
I'm not sure if I understand the question. When using a compound microscope, you always want to start by adjusting the coarse adjustment under low power (like 4x) until you have whatever you are looking at in focus. Then, without moving the adjustment, go to the next power (like 10x or something) and use the coarse adjustment only a little and then use the fine adjustment to get it into focus again. Without touching anything, switch to the next power (say 40x) and DO NOT TOUCH THE COARSE ADJUSTMENT. You will lose your object and have to start all over. Only use the fine adjustment past this point. Again, focus as best as you can. This will depend on the microscope, but some also have a 100x power objective lens. It is best to put a drop of immersion oil onto your sample while you move from 40x to 100x. Then you should only use the fine adjustment a small amount to get your sample into focus. The immersion oil improves the resolution of the image that hits your eye, making it easier to see and not blurry.
