Why coarse adjustment screw being used with low power objective?

The depth of field is so small that a very small vertical travel could shift the focus from the top of the specimen to the bottom. A very fine adjustment must be used, which is why the coarse adjustment screw is implemented.

What part of the microscope should you used to focus the image when using high power objective lens?
First of all, one should never call it high power, it is morecommonly called the "high objective", yet that is not what this question is asking. To answer the question: You use the fine adjustment knob. This knob should be located near the coarse adjustment knob, on the opposite side of the microscope (at the same height as the coarse adjustment knob), or even as a separate knob protruding from the coarse adjustment knob. The fine adjustment knob is smaller in size. You should never, ever use the coarse adjustment knob under the high objective, you could scratch the microscope slide, cover slip, high objective lens, or in a worst case scenario break the high objective lens.
Which objective should the coarse focus knob be used?
The coarse adjustment knob is only used with the low-power objective lens (usually 4x) because all the other ones are too long and the coarse adjustment knob may bring the slide up too qucikly, therefore it might break the slide or crush the specimen being observed. When using the medium (10x) and high (40x) power objective lens, it is best to use the fine adjustment knob to focus on the details instead.
What is the picture of a microscope and what are the parts of a microscope?
Parts of a microscope are ocular lens, low power objective, nose piece, objective lenses, stage clips, light source, body tube, coarse adjustment, arm, diaphragm, eyepiece, base, stage, fine adjustment, mirror, stain, and high power objective.
Which of the objectives comes closest to a specimen and is most likely to break a slide if proper precautions are not taken?
The high power objective lense will most likely break the slide. You need to use coarse adjustment on the low power objective lens.
What are the 18 parts of the microscope?
*Draw tube *Body tube *Coarse adjustment *Fine adjustment *Revolving nose piece *Dust shield *Stage *Stage clip *Intimation joint *Base *Arm *Low power objective *oil immasion objective *Condenser *Mirror
Which part of a microscope should be used with the low power objective but not with the high power objective?
Coarse Adjustment
What is the name of the adjustment knob that moves the body tube for focusing with the high-power objective lens?
I assume you would use the fine adjustment knob for high power objectives.
6 How does the procedure for using the microscope differ under high power?
For low power you can use the coarse adjustment and fine adjustment for high power you should only use the fine adjustment because on high power, the objective lens is too close to the slide and using the coarse adjustment may scratch the objective lens.
What is used to focus when using the scanner and low objective?
The coarse and fine adjustment knobs can be used with the low power objective.
How does the procedure for using the microscope different under high power as oppose to low power?
use the fine adjustment knob to get a better view of what you are looking at.For low power you can use the coarse adjustment and fine adjustmentfor high power you should only use the fine adjustment because on high power, the objective lens is too close to the slide and using the coarse adjustment may scratch the objective lens.

What is the use of the coarse adjustment knob?
The course adjustment moves the stage of the microscope further/closer away from the objective lens (it is used for general focusing), and the fine adjustment moves the objective lens very small distances for finer focusing.

What must NEVER be used when using the medium or high power objectives?
The coarse adjustment because it moves the objective much farther than the fine adjustment knob, and you could hit the slide with the objective and damage the lens and/or the slide.
