If you use the coarse-adjustment knob to focus on an object with the high-power objective what problems will you encounter why?

Using the coarse-adjustment knob with the high-power objective can result in the objective lens getting too close to the slide, potentially damaging the lens or slide. This can also lead to the objective lens hitting the slide, causing a loss of focus and potential damage to both the lens and the slide.


Why is coarse adjustment knob not commonly used when focusing under high power objective?

The coarse adjustment knob moves the objective a lot while the fine adjustment knob moves it just a little, so using the coarse knob under high power can cause the objective to hit the slide and potentially damage the slide or the objective. The fine adjustment knob provides more precise control for focusing under high power, allowing for better clarity and accuracy.


Why should you never use the coarse adjustment knob on high power for a microscope?

Using the coarse adjustment knob on high power can potentially damage the microscope or the slide being observed due to the high magnification and close proximity of the objective lens to the slide. It is better to make coarse adjustments on low power to avoid hitting the objective lens against the slide.


Why should you never use the coarse adjustment on higher power?

Using the coarse adjustment on higher power can risk damaging the lens or the slide because the distance between the lens and the slide is very small. It can also cause the objective lens to hit and break the coverslip or slide. Finer adjustments should be made with the fine adjustment knob when using higher magnifications to prevent this.


Why shoukld you never use the coarse adjustment knob on high power?

Using the coarse adjustment knob on high power may cause the objective lens to come in contact with the slide, potentially damaging both the lens and the slide. It can also lead to misalignment of the optics, resulting in blurry images and potential damage to the microscope.

What happens if you try to use the coarse adjustment when the 10x lens is in place?

One thing that can happen if you use the coarse adjustment while the oil immersion objective is in place is that the slide will end up breaking. It is better to use the fine adjustment.


What happens if you move coarse adjustment knob away from you?

If you move the coarse adjustment knob away from you, the objective lens or stage will move downwards, increasing the distance between the specimen slide and the objective lens. This will result in the focus point moving further away from the specimen, leading to a blurry image.


6 How does the procedure for using the microscope differ under high power?

For low power you can use the coarse adjustment and fine adjustment for 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.

Why should you only use the fine adjustment when the high power objective is in position?

Because if you use the coarse adjustment under high power, there is a greater risk that you will crack the slide on the microscope and damage it. The fine adjustment only moves the objective lense small amounts and very slowly, so there is no chance that you will damage the slide.


Which of the objectives comes closest to specimen and is most likely to break a slide if proper precautions are not taken?

The high power objective lense will most likely break the slide. You need to use coarse adjustment on the low power objective lens.

Why is it dangerous to focus using the coarse adjustment knob for on a microscope when using high power?

Using the coarse adjustment knob can lead to the objective lens crashing into the slide, potentially damaging both the lens and the slide. This is particularly dangerous when using high power magnification as the lens is closer to the slide. It is safer to only use the fine adjustment knob when focusing at high power to avoid this risk.


What part of the microscope should you used to focus the image when using high power objective lens?

First of all, one should never call it high power, it is morecommonly called the "high objective", yet that is not what this question is asking. To answer the question: You use the fine adjustment knob. This knob should be located near the coarse adjustment knob, on the opposite side of the microscope (at the same height as the coarse adjustment knob), or even as a separate knob protruding from the coarse adjustment knob. The fine adjustment knob is smaller in size. You should never, ever use the coarse adjustment knob under the high objective, you could scratch the microscope slide, cover slip, high objective lens, or in a worst case scenario break the high objective lens.
