When a very close view of the specimen is necessary. You can focus in on one part of the specimen.
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.
When changing from medium to high power on a microscope, you should not touch the coarse focus knob. This knob is used to adjust the focus at lower magnifications and can cause the objective lens to crash into the slide if used at high power, potentially damaging the slide or the lens.
The low power objective is used first for two reasons: First, focusing the low power objective will insure that the other objectives will be at the proper height. Smashing a slide with an objective can damage the objective. Second, you can see a greater area with the low powered objective. This allows you to easily locate an object of interest, center it in frame and then zoom in on it.
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.
When using the high power objective on a microscope, it is essential to only use the coarse focus knob to avoid damaging the slide or the lens. The coarse focus knob allows for significant adjustments, which is safe at lower magnifications. However, once at high power, fine adjustments should be made with the fine focus knob to ensure clarity without risking contact between the objective lens and the slide. Always ensure proper alignment before switching objectives to maintain the integrity of both the specimen and the microscope.
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.

The medium power objective in a microscope is used for observing specimens at a higher magnification than the low power objective, but not as detailed as the high power objective. It is commonly used to examine finer details of a specimen while still maintaining a wider field of view than the high power objective.
A high power objective in a microscope is a lens that provides high magnification of the specimen being viewed. It typically magnifies the image by 40x to 100x, allowing for detailed observation of fine structures. High power objectives are used for examining smaller details and are typically used after lower magnification objectives.
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 fine adjustment knob should be used with high power magnification because it allows for smaller, more precise movements of the objective lens. This helps to prevent damage to the slide and objective lens, as well as minimize the risk of crashing the objective lens into the slide.
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.
