Why are the images under the light microscope are reversed and inverted?

The microscope you are using is probably old, and it has an odd number of convex lenses between the object and your eye. in addition to enlarging (or reducing) an image, an optical convex lense also inverts the image. If you were to invert the inverted image again, using another lense, then the resulting image will appear upright. So a microscpope with three lenses (most likely the number of lenses in the microscope you are using) inverts the image three times, resulting in an upside-down image. A microscope with four lenses shows an upgright image.
That is why modern microscope manufacturers use an even number of lenses in a microscope (and in binoculars).

How inverted microscope work?
An inverted microscope is used for viewing culture vessels. They are constructed with the tip of the objective pointing upward. Like you are viewing the specimen from below. The light is directed on the specimen from above.
