The term microscope technically applies to any magnifying arrangement of lenses, one or many. Single lens magnification has been known since about 1000 AD and no inventor is recorded by history. Around 1590, several individuals compete for recognition as the inventor of the compound microscope which is a microscope using two or more lenses.
