When focusing an image under high power, you should use the fine focus knob. This allows for precise adjustments and helps avoid damaging the slide or the objective lens. Additionally, start with the lowest power objective lens to locate the specimen before switching to high power for detailed observation. Always ensure the stage is lowered before switching to high power to prevent contact between the lens and the slide.
When focusing on a specimen under high power, you should use the fine adjustment knob. The coarse adjustment knob is typically used only under low power to prevent damage to the slide or objective lens. The fine adjustment allows for precise focusing, which is crucial at high magnifications to achieve a clear and sharp image of the specimen. Always ensure that you start with the lowest power objective before switching to high power for safety.
I believe it's the coarse adjustment.

When observing a specimen under medium power, the fine focus adjustment knob should be used to focus on the image. This is because the medium power objective lens has a shorter working distance than lower power lenses, and using the fine focus prevents potential damage to the slide and ensures a clearer image. The coarse focus knob may move the stage too far, risking contact with the slide.
An image can appear blurred under a microscope due to improper focusing, contamination on the microscope lens or slide, incorrect magnification setting, or presence of air bubbles in the viewing field. Proper cleaning and adjustment of the microscope components can help improve image clarity.
The fine adjustment knob should be used to focus the image while absorbing a specimen under medium power. The fine adjustment knob allows for precise focusing by making small adjustments to the focus point.

When focusing the object under low power, you should use the coarse focus knob first to bring the object into general focus. Once the object is roughly in focus, then you can use the fine focus knob to sharpen the image.
The fine adjustment knob is used to bring the image of an object on the slide into focus when under the high power objective lens. This knob allows for precise focusing by making small adjustments to the distance between the objective lens and the specimen on the slide.

No, switching from low power to high power magnifies the image but does not change its position. The position of the image remains the same as long as the slide or specimen is not moved.
The image becomes inverted under the low power objective due to the design of the microscope and the way light rays are refracted and magnified by the lenses. The inverted image is a result of the optics in the microscope system.
Using the coarse-adjustment knob under high power can result in the objective lens crashing into the slide, damaging both components. It can also cause the specimen to go out of focus quickly and potentially harm the quality of the image obtained. It is best to use the fine-adjustment knob for precise focusing under high power to avoid these risks.
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.
You should adjust the fine focus knob to sharpen the image when viewing the onion cell under high-power objective (HPO) on a microscope. Rotate the knob gently to focus the specimen until the image appears clear.
