Stage
Correct Answer
A. Course adjustment knobExplanation
The course adjustment knob is the correct answer because it is used to make large adjustments to the focus of the microscope. It moves the stage up and down, allowing the user to quickly bring the specimen into approximate focus. This knob is typically larger and easier to manipulate compared to the fine adjustment knob, which is used for fine-tuning the focus. The other options listed, such as the light adjustment dial and mechanical stage knobs, are not directly related to adjusting the focus of the microscope.Rate this question:
