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.)

∙ 12y 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 we are looking through a magnifying glass from a position far away from the focus , a real image is formed which is inverted.This inverted image cannot be obtained on the screen.Hence we see the image upside down. However if we look through the magnifying glass at a position between the optical centre and focus a virtual,erect and magnified image will be formed.This can be obtained on the screen.
What is eyepiece in a microscope?
The eye piece in a microscope is a lends used to see closer.
Who was the first person to look at cells with a micoscpe?
Robert Hooke was the first person to look at cells through a microscope!
What is the lens you look through in a telescope binocular or microscope called?
Probably the eyepiece, but it depends on the type of microscope. Some eyepieces do not have any magnification whatsoever.
What can you see through the light microscope?
Plant cells, animal cells and bacteria can be visualized through the light microscope. Although some of these samples may require staining in order for the observer to see them, the magnification offered by the light microscope is sufficient to look at the morphological structures of the types of cells mentioned above
Where do you look through on a microscope?
You look through a microscope through a part called the eyepiece.
How would the letter e look under a microscope?
If you're using a compound light microscope (as you most likely are), it will appear to be upside down when you look through the objective lens. The lenses of the microscope provide an inverted image. As the magnification is increased, the clean lines of the letter will appear ragged where the ink was absorbed into the paper. These small imperfections are practically invisible to the unaided eye.
When did Robert hooke first look through a microscope?
He first looked through a microscope in 1665
How objects look different when viewed through the light microscope?
Objects viewed through a light microscope look a lot bigger.
Where you look in a microscope?
Through the uppermost lens.

How does the microscope change the image you see?
Why is the image of a letter inverted under a microscope?because it has a mirror below the stage ( the one where the specimens are being examind ) it dont reflects sunlight but also the image of a letter
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).
