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.
Using the adjustment knob at high or medium power can damage the lenses or specimen due to the sudden movement of the lens away from the specimen, as the depth of field is significantly reduced at higher magnifications. It is better to focus at low power first to bring the specimen into focus, then switch to higher magnification and use fine focus for adjustment.
The fine focus knob is typically used with high power in a microscope to make precise adjustments to the focus. This knob allows you to bring the specimen into clear view at high magnification without moving it out of focus quickly.
Using the adjustment knob on high power ensures that the fine adjustment movement is more precise and controlled, resulting in clearer and sharper image focus. This prevents damaging the microscope components by trying to focus on low power, where the knobs move the stage too quickly and could cause collisions.
Fine focus adjustment is used to sharpen the focus on high-power magnification. This allows for precise and small adjustments to bring the image into sharp focus without causing significant changes in magnification.
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.
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.
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.

Fine adjustment knob
Fine focus adjustment is used to sharpen the focus on high-power magnification. This allows for precise and small adjustments to bring the image into sharp focus without causing significant changes in magnification.
The fine adjustment knob allows for more precise focusing adjustments under high power, where the depth of focus is much shallower. This helps in achieving sharp and clear images when observing fine details of the specimen. The coarse adjustment knob may be too sensitive and lead to overshooting the focus point under high magnification.
The fine adjustment knob should be used to focus the image while absorbing a specimen under medium power. The fine adjustment knob allows for precise focusing by making small adjustments to the focus point.
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.
