When using the higher power objective lenses, you would use this part of the microscope to focus the specimen?

The fine adjustment knob. If you use the coarse adjustments with the higher power lenses, there's a good chance that you can damage your lens or the specimen by zooming in too much.

Plus, focusing is much easier with the fine adjustment at high power.

Hope that helps!
