When you move the slide of the microscope to the right, any object on the slide as well as the slide itself will appear to move to the left. In a microscope, the image is actually inverted sideways and upside down. Like a double reflection.
A microscope inverts and transposes an image. A move left will therefore appear to move right through the eyepiece.
When you move the slide to the left, you will see the image go right when looking in the eyepiece. This is because everything is backwards in the microscope image.

In microscopy, the image moves in a different direction from how the slide is moved because the lens of a microscope inverts the image. The image moves in the opposite direction from the slide.

Specimen is what is on slide of microscope while image is what you see
The light views the slide.

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).
When looking through a microscope, if you move the slide left, the image will move right, and vice versa.
Microscopes uses the same trick as refracting telescopes. They bend the light as it travels through the glass. In a microscope, the idea is to bend diverging lights into a parallel path, then focus that path into a light beam creating a spread out yet zoomed in image of what is on the microscope slide.
So light can pass through the slide to the objective.
The brightness of the light. The optics which direct the light to the slide. The diameter of the objective lens.
