If the angles of the mirrors that you used on periscope are not parallel to each other you would see the image upside down.

∙ 11y agoIn a periscope, light reflects off a series of mirrors at specific angles. This reflection process causes the image to appear upside down when viewed through the periscope.
When the image reaches the eye, it is right-side up. The optics in your eye flip the image upside down in the process of absorbing the light. The up-side down image is then sent to your brain. You brain translates it back to right side up, and then creates the image for you to see. The image never appears upside down to you, because your brain does not create the image for you to see until it has flipped it back right-side up.
If you could see the image projected onto the retina of the eye by the lens, it would be of the environment that the person in question is looking at, but upside down.
The brain automatically corrects the inversion of the image on the retina, so the world appears right side up to us. This is due to the way our brains process visual information and interpret it as being upright.
Things may appear upside down in a microscope due to the nature of the lenses used. Microscopes use convex lenses that invert the image as light passes through them. This optical property is essential for magnifying the specimen for examination.
The antonym for "periscope" is "submerge." A periscope is a device used to see above water, while submerge means to go underwater or be completely covered by something.

You can - use a pinhole camera ( or viewer).
A concave lens will typically produce an upside-down image. This happens because concave lenses diverge light rays when they pass through the lens, causing the image to appear inverted.

Yes, we do in fact see things upside down until our brain turns it back around for us. You can prove this fact when you look at your self on the outside of a spoon, you will see yourself upside down! In fact our eyes see things the right way up but the image appears upside down in the retina, our brain works so fast that it can interpret the image quickly. +++ The spoon is no test of how sight works, but demonstrates a property of convex mirrors!
The mirrors are fitted at 45 degree angles in a periscope in the opposite directions. when you see through the periscope, the image gets reflected.
The image in a periscope is not laterally inverted because it undergoes two reflections inside the periscope, which cancel out the inversion. When light reflects off two mirrors in the periscope, the orientation of the image is maintained.
Since your eyes see it upside-down (believe it or not), along the tracks the image is turned rightside-up and then then that is what you see....
The periscope uses a system of mirrors to reflect and redirect light, allowing the observer to see around obstacles such as the walls of a trench or the side of a ship. The mirrors in the periscope are strategically angled in a way that maintains the orientation of the image, resulting in an upright view for the observer.

Down periscope!
