Refraction causes light rays to bend as they pass from one medium to another, such as air to glass in a lens. This bending of light rays helps focus the rays to form an image at the back of the lens. The shape of the lens determines how much the light rays bend and where the image will be formed.
The property of light waves that allows an image to be seen through lenses is the refraction of light. When light waves pass through a lens, they are bent or refracted, causing the rays to converge or diverge depending on the shape of the lens, resulting in the formation of an image.
When light passes through different layers of water with varying densities, called refraction, the object's image may appear distorted or wavy. This distortion occurs due to the bending of light as it travels from one medium (air) to another (water), creating an optical illusion of movement in the image. This effect is commonly seen in shallow water where light is easily refracted.
A virtual image is not formed by real light rays. Instead, it appears to be located at a position where the light rays do not actually converge. This type of image is commonly seen in mirrors and lenses.
An erect image refers to an optical image that is oriented the same way as the object it is created from. This type of image is seen in mirrors, lenses, and other optical systems where the image appears right-side up in relation to the object being viewed.
internal refraction is when the ray of light is refracted, for example in a glass or plastic semicircle, and it's refracted inside the semicircle, notoutside.

Microscopes use lenses to focus light onto the specimen being observed. This magnifies the image, allowing for details to be seen that are not visible to the naked eye. The image formed is then viewed through the eyepiece or camera attached to the microscope.
Refraction
You're going for "mirage", but we're not comfortable with that description. It's not really the "image" that's caused by refraction. It's more the location or direction in which the image is seen that's caused by refraction.

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).

you are contradicting yourself here. a virtual image is VIRTUAL. meaning it technically doesn't exist, (though you can manipulate the light to see it) its focus exists beyond the plane of view and therefore you can't see it. to better explain this, pictures do a whole lot more, search for concave and convex lenses and compare the refraction of an image that you get

Since microscopes are instruments to see and observe very small objects which are not visible to naked eye, it needs to focus on them. The lenses are used for this purpose of focusing. If there will be no lens in the microscope then it will not be able to zoom and focus.
