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.
One can obtain a total magnification of 400x while using an objective lens of 40x. Such a lens should be used along an eyepiece of 10x.
When using any high power objective, you should not adjust the coarse focus knob. This is because the high power objective lens is positioned very close to the slide, and adjusting the coarse focus can lead to crashing the lens into the slide, potentially damaging both the lens and the specimen. Instead, use the fine focus knob for precise adjustments to bring the specimen into sharp focus.
You should start by using the lowest power objective lens, usually the 4x or 10x objective, to locate and center the specimen on the slide. Once the specimen is in focus, you can switch to higher magnifications for more detailed viewing.
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.
To calculate the total power of a microscope when using the 100X objective lens, you multiply the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece (ocular lens). If the eyepiece is typically 10X, the total power would be 100X (objective) × 10X (eyepiece) = 1000X. Thus, the total power of the microscope would be 1000X.
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 disadvantage of using high power objective is to
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.

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.
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.

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.
You should always begin using a microscope with a lower power objective to locate and focus on your specimen more easily. Low power objectives provide a wider field of view, making it simpler to find the area of interest. Additionally, starting with lower magnification minimizes the risk of crashing the objective lens into the slide, which can damage both the slide and the microscope. Once the specimen is in focus, you can then switch to a higher power objective for detailed observation.
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.
