Antoine van Leeuwenhoek was a Dutch scientist who worked on microbiology. He's noted not for inventing the microscope, but for improving it. In one instance, when he presented a microscope to Peter the Great, he called it an 'eel-viewer'.
The first microscope to be developed was the optical microscope. An early microscope was made in 1590 in Middelburg, Netherlands. Two eyeglass makers are variously given credit: Hans Lippershey (who developed an early telescope) and Zacharias Janssen. Van Leeuwenhoek improved a microscope and first described cells seen in cork tissue. He called them cells as they looked like little rooms, similar to ones that monks lived in.
