Which microscope knob do you not use on high power?

You do not use the coarse focus knob on high power because it can damage the slide and the objective lens of the microscope. Use only the fine focus knob to bring the specimen into sharp focus on high power.


Microscope Are all three colored threads in focus when using scanning power?

No, when using the scanning power objective lens on a microscope, only one colored thread will be in focus at a time due to the limited depth of field at this magnification. The other threads will appear blurry.

How should the course adjustment on a microscope be turned under low power?

I'm not sure if I understand the question. When using a compound microscope, you always want to start by adjusting the coarse adjustment under low power (like 4x) until you have whatever you are looking at in focus. Then, without moving the adjustment, go to the next power (like 10x or something) and use the coarse adjustment only a little and then use the fine adjustment to get it into focus again. Without touching anything, switch to the next power (say 40x) and DO NOT TOUCH THE COARSE ADJUSTMENT. You will lose your object and have to start all over. Only use the fine adjustment past this point. Again, focus as best as you can. This will depend on the microscope, but some also have a 100x power objective lens. It is best to put a drop of immersion oil onto your sample while you move from 40x to 100x. Then you should only use the fine adjustment a small amount to get your sample into focus. The immersion oil improves the resolution of the image that hits your eye, making it easier to see and not blurry.


What does the coarse focus knob on a microscope do?

The coarse focus on a microscope is provided to move the instrument quickly to where it is nearly in focus. Some microscopes only have a coarse focus. The fine focus is used to move with slower and more precise adjustment to where the instrument is exactly in focus.
