To focus a slide from low power of magnification to high power one needs to change the objective lens. A high power objective lens is brought more nearer to the object for getting proper resolution.

After having a slide on the microscope, slowly turn large knob until you can see what is on the slide, then turn small knob to view better details on the slide like silhouette or cilia. Turning the dial on front to control light can let a person see what's on the slide better. Some microscopes have multiple lenses, so start with 4x and after focusing, go to 10x refocus, than 40x and refocus.

you should turn the fine adjustment knob NOT the course adjustment knob. Turn the fine adjustment knob until you can see the specimen under the microscope well.
