Fine adjustment of microscope?

To make fine adjustments on a microscope, use the fine focus knob to sharpen the image. This knob allows you to bring the specimen into clear focus by moving the objective lens slightly up or down. Use it after using the coarse focus knob to roughly focus the image. Make small, careful movements until the specimen is sharply in focus.

What does the fine adjustment knob on a microscope do?

The fine adjustment, the two little knobs on both sides of a compound microscope, is rotated to move the body tube down or the stage up in tiny distances to help you focus in HIGH power.The fine focus knob is geared with a different ratio than the coarse knob to "fine tune" your focus. It allows for tiny adjustments to the focus setting, rather than larger ones.


What part in the microscope is the most important and why?

There're two knobs at the side of a light microscope (this is just my experience, it may be different if you're using different brands of microscope or even an electron type microscope). For first focus, adjust the larger knob (also known as rough adjustment) followed by the final focus (to sharpen the image), by adjusting the smaller knob (known as fine adjustment).

What are the 2 knobs on a microscope called?

There are two adjustment knobs (coarse and fine) on a microscope so you can move the stage at two different speeds. The coarse moves a lot per revolution, while the fine adjustment knob moves the stage at such small increments that it is nearly impossible to notice when looking from the side. The coarse adjustment knob should be used to get the stage closer to the lens only while you are looking at the microscope from the side. The fine adjustment knob can be used when you are looking into the microscope because there is a much lower chance of running the stage into the lens and breaking it.
