Help with microscope functions! What is the part of the microscope used when: Adjusting the focus when using the 4X objective AND Adjusting the focus when using the 40X objective Can anyone help me? Thanks!

OpenStudy (saksh1998):

both are the same parts and i think they are called focus knobs situated at the back of the microscoperotated to adjust the focus fan and medal

OpenStudy (twistrose):

actually, with the 4x you use the coarse adjuster and the 40x you use the fine adjuster there really is a difference

OpenStudy (saksh1998):

but after adjusting the focus to a nearby point using the coarse adjuster

OpenStudy (kewl_12):

use the objectives. for lower magnification use the Low Power Objective and for higher magnification use the High Power Objective usually 40x or 43x
