I conducted this experiment where you use two optical lenses to build a simple microscope. I need to describe what I observed with my microscope, but I'm not sure if i observed correctly since it was hard to focus on my eyes.
Is the object supposed to look real or virtual? upright or inverted? reduced or enlarged?
I know it looked inverted and definitely enlarged.

the object I observed through the microscope was just an image of an arrow drawn on the light-through screen. The microscope was built by arranging light source-object-48mm lenss-127mm lens in order by calcultaing p and q distances. Thank you!

It's an experiment. Write down what you observed, not what someone else tells you they think you should observe. I've never heard of a reducing microscope, but I guess they could exist. Whether the image is inverted depends on the design of the microscope. It's convenient if the image isn't inverted. With an inverted image, I found I was always moving the slide the wrong way. Try varying the spacings of the lenses to help your eye focus, and also to see what difference it makes.

Lets see.
If I put a microbe naked to the human eye under microscope, that microbe will be enlarged, that's why we use microscopes
.
Depending on what you are looking at as to whether it looks real. Ex, a swab of blood. You will see all kinds of shapes.
So I guess to answer your question you would just describe it as you see it. If it looks inverted, it is.
