The high power is because so you can see it u close and the low power is further away.
The high power objective should be used when you need to examine smaller details or structures in a specimen at higher magnification. It provides a higher magnification level compared to the low power objective, allowing you to see finer details.
You shouldn't. You can cause the high objective to smash into the surface of the slide and crack it. Always use the fine adj. for high power and if you cannot get the high power in focus, reverse out to low again and do it over. Ideally, if you are in focus on low, you should be in focus at medium (may have to adjust a small amount) and if you are in focus under medium, when you swing the high power obj. into place, it should be in focus as well (may need a fine tune). Always reverse out and start all over again if you cannot focus it under high power. Deja Was Here
use the fine adjustment knob to get a better view of what you are looking at.For low power you can use the coarse adjustment and fine adjustmentfor 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.
Organisms appear to move more rapidly under high power due to the increased magnification of the microscope, making their movements more noticeable compared to when seen under low power.
No, switching from low power to high power magnifies the image but does not change its position. The position of the image remains the same as long as the slide or specimen is not moved.

I believe it's the coarse adjustment.
Fine Adjustment knob
When using a microscope under high power, you typically start by locating the specimen using the coarse adjustment knob on low power before switching to high power for a more detailed view. Under high power, you may need to use the fine adjustment knob more delicately to focus due to the increased magnification. Additionally, the field of view is smaller under high power compared to low power.
The coarse adjustment knob should never be used when viewing in high power with a compound microscope. When in high power, use the coarse adjustment (the knob smaller than the coarse adj.) to more accurately focus on the subject.
You can see less under high power because it focuses on a smaller part of the specimen, but in more detail than low power.

Organisms appear to move more rapidly under high power due to the increased magnification of the microscope, making their movements more noticeable compared to when seen under low power.
Before switching to high power, the specimen must be in focus and positioned in the center of the field of view under low power magnification. Additionally, the light source should be properly adjusted to provide clear illumination of the specimen at high power.
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.
