So is there a way of reversing this in live view mode in the cameras software, yes I know it's easily done in post processingbut that's not what's required.

If all you need is to invert the image, a tablet can be told to do that. You
don't have to turn it upside down.

As I read the OP's message, I assumed the image needed to be reversed to a
mirror image. That could be trickier, but someone has probably written a
graphics driver that will do it.

The problem is nhaving to move in the opposite direction, it's just annoying and very counter intuative.
inverting a monitor isn;t such an easy thing to do unless you can remount it.

Perhaps the settings described here will help?

I see both Landscape (flipped) and Portrait (flipped) on my PC.

an intresting problem but.

There's no PC involved just a microscope with a Nikon D3200 (without
lens) looking down through it and the image is flipped both H and V or
L & P .
an option to use the HDMI would work if it wasn't such a hassle
mounting a monitor upside down.

I think it might be better to teach the folks using this setup just how
to use a microscope. It is counter-intuitive, but typically all
movement and/or adjustment is made by moving the slide, or the
slide(subject) table under the objective lens in the opposite direction
to that desired in the field of view and using a camera isn't going to
change that.

BTW: There are digital microscopes available that would cost less than
the D3200 + microscope setup and would deal with some of your problem.
