Why is the position inverted when you look through a microscope?

To keep the answer very simple, the specimen being viewed is inverted when light passes through the objective lens (carrying the image) , which is usually convex in nature. So if you view something which is already "inverted" it would get corrected, i.e appear right.
(The bending of light is called a refraction, which causes the image to bend along with it.)

The position appears inverted when you look through a microscope because the objective lens presents a magnified image that is projected to the eyepiece lens, where it is then further magnified for observation. This optical system causes the final image to be inverted relative to the original object.

∙ 13y agoNot only the letter e but everything is inverted under many microscope constructions because the straightforward optical magnification inverts the virtual image.
There are however some constructions that "rectify" the image and so up is away from you, down is towards you, left is left and right is right.

The reason for image to appear upside down under a microscope can be if: The object to be viewed is placed between the lens & the focal length of the lens to give enlarged erect virtual image.This enlarged image is further viewed through a large focal length eye lens to give an inverted enlarged image.

∙ 9y agoThe letter e is inverted under a microscope for one very important reason. Microscopes invert images due to their complex reflection mechanisms.

How come when you look through 2 magnifying glasses everything is upside down?
When you look through two magnifying glasses, the light rays passing through both lenses get refracted multiple times, causing the image to be flipped upside down. This happens because each lens magnifies the image in the opposite direction, ultimately resulting in an inverted image.
What is eyepiece in a microscope?
The eyepiece is the part of a microscope that you look through to view the specimen. It contains lenses that magnify the image produced by the objective lens. It is also known as the ocular lens.
What is the eyepiece of a microscope called?
The eyepiece of a microscope is the top part of the microscope in which you look through to see your magnified object. There is no other name for the eyepiece The eyepiece holds the ocular lens. If there are two eyepieces (one for each eye) they are called biocular lenses.
What is the lens you look through in a telescope binocular or microscope called?
The lens you look through in a telescope, binocular, or microscope is called the eyepiece. It is the lens closest to your eye that magnifies the image produced by the objective lens.
What is a combination of an ocular and an objective called?
A combination of an ocular and an objective in a microscope is called an eyepiece. The eyepiece is the lens at the top of the microscope that you look through to see the specimen.
Where do you look through on a microscope?
You look through a microscope through a part called the eyepiece.

He first looked through a microscope in 1665
Where you look in a microscope?
Through the uppermost lens.
What are lens you look through on a microscope?
Microscopes typically have different types of lenses, including objective lenses and eyepiece lenses. Objective lenses are located near the specimen and magnify the image, while the eyepiece (or ocular) lens is located at the top of the microscope and further magnifies the image for viewing.

What is dot or point?
It is a mathematical concept which looks like a full stop. It has a position (in space) but has no dimensions - that is, it has no length or width (unlike a full stop - look through a microscope).
What is the object called that you look at under a microscope?
The object that you look at under a microscope is called a specimen. It is placed on a glass slide and then magnified and viewed through the microscope lens.
