If you cannot focus at 100X, what is the recommended sequence?

Explanation:
When focusing at high power, the image depth is extremely shallow, so small changes can push the image out of focus. If you can’t get a sharp view at 100X, re-establish rough focus at a lower magnification using the coarse adjustment knob (for example, switch to 10X and bring the specimen into rough focus). Then switch back to 100X and use the fine adjustment to sharpen the image. This approach minimizes the risk of crashing the objective into the slide and helps you quickly relocate the correct focal plane. Adjusting the diaphragm or switching to 4X doesn’t directly fix high-power focusing, and restarting isn’t needed.
