The fine and coarse focus knobs allow you to adjust the focus of the microscope. The coarse focus knob helps to bring the sample into approximate focus, while the fine focus knob allows for precise focusing.
Fine focus is used for small, precise adjustments to sharpen the image in microscopy, while coarse focus is used for larger, initial adjustments to bring the specimen into roughly the correct focal plane. Fine focus is typically used after coarse focus to achieve optimal clarity.
You would use the coarse focus knob to focus on low power. Turn the coarse focus knob clockwise to bring the specimen into view and then fine-tune using the fine focus knob.
The coarse focus on a microscope is provided to move the instrument quickly to where it is nearly in focus. Some microscopes only have a coarse focus. The fine focus is used to move with slower and more precise adjustment to where the instrument is exactly in focus.
First use the coarse focus followed by the fine focus.

When using a microscope at high power, it is essential to use the fine focus knob rather than the coarse focus knob. The coarse focus can move the stage too quickly, risking damage to the slide or the objective lens. The fine focus allows for precise adjustments to bring the specimen into sharp focus without the risk of crashing the lens into the slide. Therefore, always use the fine focus when viewing specimens at high magnification.
The coarse adjustment knob brings objects into rapid focus by quickly moving the stage up or down. It is used first to focus roughly on the specimen before fine-tuning with the fine adjustment knob.
Coarse focus on a microscope is used only when you are using the lowest objective lens. You use it to get the object magnified mostly. The fine focus is then used to adjust the resolution to the viewer's eyesight.
The coarse focus knob is used to make large adjustments to the focus of the microscope by moving the objective lens closer to or further away from the specimen. The fine focus knob then allows for precise adjustments to further refine the focus and clarity of the image.
The small knob is called the fine focus knob, and the big knob is called the coarse focus knob on a microscope. The fine focus knob is used for precise focusing, while the coarse focus knob is used for initial focusing.
