The reason a microscope produces an inverted image is simply due to the number of lenses within it, or more specifically, the number of focal points it has. A microscope with a single lens will have a single focal point. Each focal point will invert the image once, meaning that a microscope with a single lens will produce an inverted image. If you were to add another lens to the microscope and align it the proper distance from the first lens, it would be possible to reorient the image to be right side up. As a side note, our eyes work the same way, the images coming into our eyes are inverted by our own lenses, its up to our brain to flip things right side up.

Are images inverted with dissecting microscope?

Because as the image moves up the lens and into the head of the microscope, it hits a mirror that reflects the image back to you through the oculars, therefore you are looking at an inverted image.
