Usually its because the microscope uses mirrors or reflects the image somehow... And technically speaking, the inverted image we see is actually how all of the world looks, but our eyes have adjusted to our way of seeing... its all a matter of perspective.

How is the image changed when looked at under the microscope?
When an image is viewed through a microscope it is inverted, meaning turned upside down and it is also shown mirror image, meaning from left to right.
3 things a microscope does to an image?
I know two out of the three from high school biology. It was a freshman class, so this may not be what you're currently looking for. 1. It magnifies an image. 2. It turns the image upside down.
You are looking down the microscope and can only see a small part of the image in your field of view Which part of the microscope do you adjust to centre the image?
zoom
Why does it not matter that the image produced by a telescope inverted?
One of the most surprising discoveries first-time telescope owners will find is that images may appear upside-down or backwards depending on the type of telescope. The first thought is the telescope is broken - when in fact it is working perfectly normal. Depending on the type of telescope images may appear correct, upside-down, rotated, or inverted from left to right. Why is this? Why would I want to see everything incorrectly? For astronomical viewing, it is not important whether an object is shown correctly. In space there is no up or down. Besides, Saturn is not something you see everyday and you would not know if it was upside-down or not. A Tree, Building, Person or an Automobile for example would be important to see correctly. When you view an automobile upside-down, you recognize that this is not correct. Lets talk about the different types of telescopes and how the orientation of the image is observed through them and what you can do to correct it for land use. Refractor and Cassegrain telescopes will produce an image that is upside down when used without a diagonal. When a diagonal is used the image will be corrected right side up, but backwards from left to right. It will look like trying to read a sign in a mirror. There are special diagonals called Erect Image Prism diagonals that can correct the backwards image for land use. Newtonian Reflectors will produce an image that is upside down and are not recommended for land use. There are no ways to correct this with a Newtonian Reflector.
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.)
Why is the image when viewed through the microscope?
It would look upside down.
Does a microscope turn the object upside down and backwards?
Half right! A microscope turns the image upside-down due to the way the mirrors are setup inside, but not backwards!
What does a microscope do to the image of the letter A?
the letter "e" gets inverted, so its upside down
What does a microscope do to the image of the letter e?
the letter "e" gets inverted, so its upside down
Is image formed from microscope inverted or laterally inverted or just upside down?
It is laterally inverted. (:
If you placed a letter g under the microscope how would the image look like?
If you place a letter "g" under the microscope, the "g" would be upside down.
How is the image changed when looked at under the microscope?
When an image is viewed through a microscope it is inverted, meaning turned upside down and it is also shown mirror image, meaning from left to right.
Why does the picture seem upside down when looking through a microscope?
A microscope contains reflective mirrors to project the focal image. If the reflective mirror is located top bottom or side incorrectly the picture may appear upside down. The lens may need rotating.
What does the letter 'F' look like through a microscope?
Everything under a microscope is upside down and backwards.
How do things appear in a microscope?
Upside down and larger.

What are the reasons why image under the microscope move in the opposite direction?
Because the lense of a projector inverts the image, you put the slide in upside down to view it right side up.Iin the process of inverting the image, up becomes down and right becomes left..
