The high power is because so you can see it u close and the low power is further away.
Examining a root cap under both high and low power magnification allows for a comprehensive understanding of its structure and function. Low power provides a broader view of the overall organization and arrangement of cells, while high power reveals finer details, such as individual cell types and their characteristics. This dual approach enhances the study of growth patterns and protective roles of the root cap in root development.
Before switching to high power, the student should ensure that the cheek cells are properly centered in the field of view under low power. They should also adjust the stage to bring the cells into sharp focus and ensure that there’s enough light for better visibility. Finally, the student should be cautious while switching to high power to avoid crashing the objective lens into the slide.
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.
Examine with high power magnification.
When focusing on a specimen under high power, you should use the fine adjustment knob. The coarse adjustment knob is typically used only under low power to prevent damage to the slide or objective lens. The fine adjustment allows for precise focusing, which is crucial at high magnifications to achieve a clear and sharp image of the specimen. Always ensure that you start with the lowest power objective before switching to high power for safety.

When focusing an image under high power, you should use the fine focus knob. This allows for precise adjustments and helps avoid damaging the slide or the objective lens. Additionally, start with the lowest power objective lens to locate the specimen before switching to high power for detailed observation. Always ensure the stage is lowered before switching to high power to prevent contact between the lens and the slide.

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.
