How many times could Van Leeuwenhoek's microscope lenses enlarge objects?

∙ 11y ago
Van Leeuwenhoek made over 500 optical lenses (though they did not necessarily become 500 different microscopes) and can be said to have built at least 25 variations on his basic design of the microscope. Only nine microscopes, of the hundreds he built, remain.
The best magnification of the lenses which still exist is 256 times. It is thought that he may have been able to produce magnifications of almost twice that.

What year did Anton Van Leeuwenhoek invent the microscope?
Anton van Leeuwenhoek did not invent the microscope. The compound microscope was invented 40 years before Anton van Leeuwenhoek was born. The simple microscope was known 300 years earlier. Anton van Leeuwenhoek invented a method for making small spherical lenses that much increased the magnification of simple microscopes. The date is not know precisely, but around 1670, more than half a century after the discovery of the compound microscope, van Leeuwenhoek discovered a way to make small lenses of very high magnification that went significantly beyond the capability of existing microscopes. He advanced the design of the simple microscope. He used his inventions to make great discoveries into the world of microorganisms.
