Nothing will happen because the coarse adjustment knob controls the position of the stage of the microscope, which is used to focus the specimen. This adjustment is independent of the choice of objective lens.
The depth of field is so small that a very small vertical travel could shift the focus from the top of the specimen to the bottom. A very fine adjustment must be used, which is why the coarse adjustment screw is implemented.
You can use the coarse adjustment knob with the low-power objective lens because it provides a wider field of view and greater depth of focus, making it easier to bring the specimen into general focus. However, using the coarse adjustment with the high-power objective lens risks crashing the lens into the slide, which can damage both the lens and the specimen. Therefore, fine focusing is necessary at higher magnifications to achieve precise focus without risking damage.
The coarse adjustment knob on a microscope should never be used with the high-power objective lens. This can cause damage to both the lens and the slide being viewed. Instead, it is best used with the low-power or scanning objective lens for initial focusing.
First of all, one should never call it high power, it is morecommonly called the "high objective", yet that is not what this question is asking. To answer the question: You use the fine adjustment knob. This knob should be located near the coarse adjustment knob, on the opposite side of the microscope (at the same height as the coarse adjustment knob), or even as a separate knob protruding from the coarse adjustment knob. The fine adjustment knob is smaller in size. You should never, ever use the coarse adjustment knob under the high objective, you could scratch the microscope slide, cover slip, high objective lens, or in a worst case scenario break the high objective lens.
Because if you use the coarse adjustment under high power, there is a greater risk that you will crack the slide on the microscope and damage it. The fine adjustment only moves the objective lense small amounts and very slowly, so there is no chance that you will damage the slide.
For low power you can use the coarse adjustment and fine adjustment for high power you should only use the fine adjustment because on high power, the objective lens is too close to the slide and using the coarse adjustment may scratch the objective lens.
The course-adjustment knob moves the stage up and down quickly, and using it with a high-power objective can potentially damage the objective or slide due to a rapid change in focus. It is best to use the fine-adjustment knob when using a high-power lens for precise focusing.
The coarse adjustment knob moves the objective a lot while the fine adjustment knob moves it just a little, so using the coarse knob under high power can cause the objective to hit the slide and potentially damage the slide or the objective. The fine adjustment knob provides more precise control for focusing under high power, allowing for better clarity and accuracy.

The adjustment knob that moves the body tube for focusing with the high-power objective lens is called the fine focus adjustment knob. It allows for precise adjustments to bring the specimen into sharp focus at high magnifications.

When using a high power objective, you should use the fine adjustment knob. This knob allows for precise focusing and helps to avoid damaging the slide or the objective lens due to the closer working distance. The coarse adjustment knob should be reserved for lower power objectives to prevent any potential contact between the lens and the specimen.
So you do not crack the high power objective lens - this lens is very fragile and expensive.
The coarse focus knob should be used with the low power objective but not with the high power objective. The point of using the coarse focus knob is to bring the specimen into general focus before fine-tuning with the high power objective, which requires more precise adjustments.
Using the coarse-adjustment knob with the high-power objective can result in the objective lens getting too close to the slide, potentially damaging the lens or slide. This can also lead to the objective lens hitting the slide, causing a loss of focus and potential damage to both the lens and the slide.
The fine adjustment knob is used with the power objective on the microscope. Since the objective is already at the highest objective possible for that microscope, using the coarse adjustment knob would focus to much on the object making the details harder to read. Using the fine adjustment knob, you are able to see the fine details within the object or organism you are studying. The higher the power, the finer the knob and the lower the objective, the coarser the knob and objective.
