A microscope is used for the purpose of magnification of an object which is usually very minute - so much so that it is not easy to be seen with the naked eye. If a mount slide contains the word lens which is easily readable with the naked eye and if this slide is kept under a microscope, the text will appear:

From left to right that is in the same original direction as it was positioned on the slide. Highly magnified which may make it illegible to be read using the microscope.
