A microscope is used for a person to view things in detail that they would not be able to see with the human eye. Many fields use microscopes, including historians and scientists. When it comes to coarse and fine adjustment, these are two knobs that are on the microscope. They are both used to move the stage of the microscope.

The coarse adjustment knob is used to move the stage up and down. This is done so that the image can be bought into a focus that is rough. A fine adjustment uses the stage slightly and brings it into a sharp focus.

One thing that you should realize is that fine and coarse are known to be adjectives that can be used for different items. When you say fine, this means that the items have been grounded into fine particles so that they will be easy to touch.

When you say coarse, this means that the particles that you will find are still rather large. There are some people who say that fine can also mean that something is more expensive or it can be something that not everyone can attain but if you would consider its comparison with the word “coarse,” the first description can be considered to be more appropriate. Coarse materials can be processed so that they can become fine.
