Because the movement is too large and you can break the slide of you turn it the wrong way.
What else can I help you with?
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.
The coarse adjustment knob on a microscope should never be used with the?
The coarse adjustment knob on a microscope should never be used with the high-power objective lens. This can cause damage to both the lens and the slide being viewed. Instead, it is best used with the low-power or scanning objective lens for initial focusing.
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 should you never use the coarse adjustment knob on high power for a microscope?
Using the coarse adjustment knob on high power can potentially damage the microscope or the slide being observed due to the high magnification and close proximity of the objective lens to the slide. It is better to make coarse adjustments on low power to avoid hitting the objective lens against the slide.
Why should you never use the coarse adjustment on higher power?
Using the coarse adjustment on higher power can risk damaging the lens or the slide because the distance between the lens and the slide is very small. It can also cause the objective lens to hit and break the coverslip or slide. Finer adjustments should be made with the fine adjustment knob when using higher magnifications to prevent this.
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.
How does the procedure for using the microscope differ under high power as opposed 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.

When is it inappropriate to use the coarse adjustment?
It is inappropriate to use the coarse adjustment knob when focusing on high-power objectives, typically 40x or higher, as this can lead to damage to the slide or the objective lens by bringing the stage too close to the lens. Instead, fine adjustment should be used for precise focusing at these magnifications. Coarse adjustment is suitable only for low-power objectives, where greater distances between the lens and slide are maintained.
What part of the microscope should be turned to obtain a clear image under high power?
I believe it's the coarse adjustment.
What power is it appropriate to use the coarse adjustment knob?
The coarse adjustment knob is typically used with low-power objectives, such as the 4x or 10x magnification lenses, on a microscope. This allows for significant adjustments in focus when initially locating a specimen or bringing it into view. Once the specimen is focused, the fine adjustment knob should be used for precise focusing, especially at higher magnifications. Using the coarse adjustment knob at high power can risk damaging the slide or the 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.
