Which activity might lead to damage of a microscope and specimen?
using the course adjustment to focus the specimen under high power
The coarse adjustment knob on a microscope should never be used with the?
high-power lens
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.
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.
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.
Which focusing knob do you never use under high power?
The coarse adjustment knob should never be used when viewing in high power with a compound microscope. When in high power, use the coarse adjustment (the knob smaller than the coarse adj.) to more accurately focus on the subject.
What adjustment knob is used to focus with high power?

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.
What are the dangers of using the coarse-adjustment knob when focusing under high power?
It is possible to cause damage to the microscope or lenses when using the coarse focus- such as pushing the lens through the glass slide.
What is the function of coarse focus adjustment knob on the microscope?
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.
Why do you have to be carefull when you are focusing the high power lens?
On a microscope, you have to make sure to use the fine focus instead of the coarse focus. If you are not careful and you do use the coarse focus, it will move the barrel down and the lens may crush your slide/slide cover. Which is very, very bad.
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.
What is the correct microscope procedures?
Which of the following is a correct procedure for the operation of a microscope? First, put the specimen into focus using a low power lens, then switch to a lower power lens if needed.Remove and add slides while the high power lens is selected.First, put the specimen into focus using a low power lens, then switch to a higher power lens if needed.Use the fine focus knob with the low power lens and use the coarse focus knob with the high power lens
When focusing the object under low power which focus knob do you use first?
Either Fine or Coarse adjustment.
