Ocular Lens (eyepiece) or Stage
No, when using a microscope, you should focus away from the specimen initially by moving the objective lens upward, then slowly bring it down towards the specimen to avoid damaging the lens or the specimen.
When viewing a specimen under the microscope, you should always start with the lowest magnification objective lens. This allows you to locate and focus on the specimen before moving to higher magnifications for a closer look.
low power objective lens to locate and focus on the specimen before moving to higher magnifications.
If you completely lose focus while viewing a specimen under high power, you should first move the fine adjustment knob in both directions to try and regain focus. If that doesn't work, switch back to a lower magnification objective lens, refocus the specimen, and then switch back to the high power objective to try focusing again.
You should always use the fine adjustment knob when you need to make precise focusing adjustments to obtain clear and sharp images in microscopy. It allows for small, controlled movements to achieve optimal focus.
When focusing a specimen, you should always start with the lowest magnification objective lens, typically the scanning objective (4x or 10x). This allows for a broader field of view, making it easier to locate the specimen. Once the specimen is centered and in focus at low magnification, you can then switch to higher magnification lenses for more detailed observation. Always use the coarse focus knob first, followed by the fine focus knob for precision.

The fine adjustment screw is used when focusing the 40X objective. The coarse adjustment screw should only be used with lower magnifications to bring the specimen into rough focus.
Moving the objective lens away from the slide when focusing prevents the lens from accidentally coming into contact with the slide and potentially damaging both the lens and the specimen. It also helps in preventing the lens from scratching the slide, ensuring clear and accurate observations.

When focusing the microscope downward, you take the chance of damaging the expensive objective lens by crushing the slide trying to get it.
When starting a microscopic study,always examine under LPO first.Move the slide and get a good general view of the specimen.
If you completely lose focus while viewing a specimen under high power, you should first move the fine adjustment knob in both directions to try and regain focus. If that doesn't work, switch back to a lower magnification objective lens, refocus the specimen, and then switch back to the high power objective to try focusing again.
The course adjustment knob should be used when initially focusing on a specimen under low power magnification, typically with a microscope. It allows for quick and significant changes in the stage height to bring the specimen into the general focus. Once the specimen is in focus, the fine adjustment knob should be used for more precise focusing, especially at higher magnifications. Using the course adjustment knob at higher powers can risk damaging the slide or the objective lens.
It allows you to center the specimen, and if it is set up correctly, then when you switch objectives it should still be there and only need fine focusing. It also reduces the chance of crushing the specimen and/or breaking the slide or the lens as the LPO is further away from the slide than the HPO.
