Zacharias Janssen and his son Johannes (Hans), spectacle makers in Holland, are usually credited with inventing the first compound microscope in about 1595. (Hans Lippershey a spectacle maker in the same city, Middelburg, Netherlands, also claimed credit for the invention but was perhaps more instrumental in the creation of the telescope.)
Two decades later, Galileo Galilei built a compound microscope and changed the lens design lens (convex and concave lens).
