The coarse focus adjustment moves the lens (or the stage, depending on the construction of the microscope). So does the fine adjustment but the fine does it much less and much more accurately (less play in the gears)

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.
