Best Answer

It allows you to center the specimen, and if it is set up correctly, then when you switch objectives it should still be there and only need fine focusing.

It also reduces the chance of crushing the specimen and/or breaking the slide or the lens as the LPO is further away from the slide than the HPO.

Under low power you can see more of the specimen - which is important so that you can easily center it in the field of view, and spot which area(s) you would like to look at in more detail.
