Assuming that you were talking about a microscope, then . . . the fine adjustment is really the normal adjustment. It's easy to use to get a great focus because it moves the focusing mechanism very little per turn.

On the other hand, the fine adjustment simply won't get you close to initial focus without spending a day or two turning the dern thing.

On the other hand, the COARSE focusing knob will get you NEARLY to correct focus in a flash.
