Why should you only use the fine adjustment when the high power objective is in position?

Because if you use the coarse adjustment under high power, there is a greater risk that you will crack the slide on the microscope and damage it. The fine adjustment only moves the objective lense small amounts and very slowly, so there is no chance that you will damage the slide.

So you don't crack the slide or damage the lens

Because fine adjustment is moves the objective lens in small amount,so there no chance that we will damage the slide.

What is the meaning of fine adjustment?
it is the function of HPO or the High Power Objective
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.
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.
What is the difference when observing a specimen under high power and 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.
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.
Which part of a microscope should be used with the low power objective but not with the high power objective?
Coarse Adjustment
6 How does the procedure for using the microscope differ under high power?

What are all the pieces in a microscope?

When using the high power objective which focus knob do you use?
The fine adjustment knob is used with the power objective on the microscope. Since the objective is already at the highest objective possible for that microscope, using the coarse adjustment knob would focus to much on the object making the details harder to read. Using the fine adjustment knob, you are able to see the fine details within the object or organism you are studying. The higher the power, the finer the knob and the lower the objective, the coarser the knob and objective.
Why is it important to use the fine adjustment knob when using the highest power objective lens?
So you do not crack the high power objective lens - this lens is very fragile and expensive.
