the big knob is called the coarse adjustment knob and the smaller one is the fine adjustment knob
coarse does a large scale focus, fine does such small scale focus you can only see a difference in how the (item under microscope) looks. You don't see the stage / nosepeice move up or down.
Adjustment knobs are used to focus light in a light microscope.
You use the fine adjustment to focus in HIGH power with a compound microscpe.
The lens is the object used to focus light in a light microscope. The lens in a light microscope is typically found within the objective lens or the eyepiece, and it helps to magnify the image of the specimen.
The coarse adjustment knobs are used to to lower them dramatic amounts. And the fine adjustment knobs are used to lower them very small amounts, in order to focus in better on what you want.
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.

There are two adjustment knobs (coarse and fine) on a microscope so you can move the stage at two different speeds. The coarse moves a lot per revolution, while the fine adjustment knob moves the stage at such small increments that it is nearly impossible to notice when looking from the side. The coarse adjustment knob should be used to get the stage closer to the lens only while you are looking at the microscope from the side. The fine adjustment knob can be used when you are looking into the microscope because there is a much lower chance of running the stage into the lens and breaking it.
Microscopes typically have knobs for adjusting the focus (coarse and fine adjustment knobs), magnification levels (objective lens turret), and the stage (stage control knobs for moving the specimen). Other common knobs include the condenser adjustment knob for controlling the amount of light passing through the specimen and the mechanical stage knobs for precise movement of the specimen.

It is the first knob you should turn to bring the object into rough focus, before tinkering with the finer tuning knobs.
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.
To view cells with a microscope, place a small sample of cells on a glass slide and cover it with a coverslip. Adjust the focus and magnification of the microscope to view the cells clearly. Use the fine and coarse adjustment knobs to bring the cells into focus.
To make fine adjustments on a microscope, use the fine focus knob to sharpen the image. This knob allows you to bring the specimen into clear focus by moving the objective lens slightly up or down. Use it after using the coarse focus knob to roughly focus the image. Make small, careful movements until the specimen is sharply in focus.
To focus a microscope using the coarse adjustment knob, gently turn it in one direction until the specimen comes into view. Then, use the fine adjustment knob to further sharpen the image. Avoid using excessive force on either knob to prevent damaging the microscope or specimen.
