How are concave and convex lenses different?
Convex bulges outward (thicker in the center than the edge)Concave bulges inward (thinner in the center than the edge)Convex lenses magnify when you look through then, concave lenses make things look smaller.You can focus a distant object to a point with a convex lens (the image will be upside down).
Does a convex lens invert images?
Yes. Image formed by convex lens is laterally inverted. However, It should be kept in mind that convex lens can form both real and virtual images. If the object is placed beyond F (Focus), then real image will be formed and laterally inverted. However, if the object is placed between F and C. Then the images formed will be virtual but NOT laterally inverted. For concave lens, all images formed is on the same side so the images formed is NOT laterally inverted
Compare concave mirror to convex mirror?
They both will give distorted images, but where a convex mirror (which bulges out like a bubble) has a right-side up image, a concave mirror (which bows in like a bowl) has an upside-down image.
How do images appear in a microscope?
Because a microscope has a convex lens, and they bend light so that when you see it it appears upside-down and backwards (or the other way around). For example, the letter "d" will appear to be the letter "p"
Do some people see images upside down?
When you blink, you see everything upside down for a nanosecond, but your brain corrects it so fast that you will never be able to see this happen.

How is an upside down image formed?
it is convex
Why do things look upside down in the microscope?
its because the lens of the microscope is convex. this means that it is curved a little bit, like the lenses of glasses. this causes the image to appear upside down. try looking into the curved part of a spoon from both sides. one side your reflection is normal, but on the other side your reflection is upside down, because of concave and convex. The side where you see your reflection normal is concave, and the side where it is backwards is convex. hope i helped!

How do the images appear on the retina?
upside-down
What are the uses of convex lenses in optical instruments?
They're caved-outward shape allows the focused object to appear backward or upside down. They also magnify various objects, which is useful for magnifying glasses and telescopes.
Why Images observed 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).
Do all telescopes turn images upside down?
No.
What lens produces the image to be upside down and reversed and what is the image called?
convex lens
Convex lens produces an image that is upside down and reversed from left to right?
yes
How does the position of the letter e as seen through the microscope differ from the way an e normally appears?
The complex microscope uses lenses called convex lenses. Now convex lenses converge light to meet at one focal point. They create an =()X like figure where = is straight beams of light () is the convex and X is the converged light. In short, it's because a microscope has a mirror in it. and when you look into it you see the reflection of the item on the slide. On the microscope it is right side up but when you look at it normally it would be upside-down.
