parfocal. This means that once the specimen is in focus at a lower magnification, it will remain nearly in focus when changing to a higher magnification, requiring only fine adjustment to sharpen the image.
The fine adjustment knob is typically used to focus when using high power magnification on a microscope. It allows for precision adjustments to fine-tune the focus of the specimen being observed.
Turning the coarse adjustment knob when observing at high power magnification can cause the objective lens to hit the slide, potentially damaging the specimen or the lens. It can also result in a sudden shift in focus, making it difficult to observe the specimen clearly. It is recommended to use the fine adjustment knob for precision focusing at high power magnification.
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.
You use the fine adjustment to focus in HIGH power with a compound microscpe.

The fine adjustment knob is typically used to focus when using high power magnification on a microscope. It allows for precision adjustments to fine-tune the focus of the specimen being observed.
The working distance decreases when going from low power to high power magnification. This is because higher magnification lenses have shorter focal lengths, requiring the object to be placed closer to the lens to come into focus.

When focusing the object under low power, you should use the coarse focus knob first to bring the object into general focus. Once the object is roughly in focus, then you can use the fine focus knob to sharpen the image.
You use the fine adjustment to focus in HIGH power with a compound microscpe.
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 a specimen under high power on a microscope, first ensure the specimen is properly mounted on a slide and in focus under low magnification. Then, increase the magnification to high power, typically 400x or higher, using the lens adjustment knob without contacting the slide. Finally, fine-tune the focus using the fine focus knob to get a clear view of the specimen at high magnification.
AnswerFine adjustment knobs can be used on any of the different power lenses. Fine adjusting knobs help in clarifying a partially focused image.
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 on a microscope is used to make small, precise changes to the focus of the specimen. It allows for fine tuning of the image clarity and sharpness to achieve optimal magnification.
