Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Stella was only able to see white light through the eyepiece because the microscope is not in focus. She is supposed to bring the microscope into focus by using the coarse adjustment knob in conjunction with the fine adjustment knob. Both knobs are adjusted till the specimens or cells in the pond water present on the slide become visible through the microscope's eyepiece.
