There is a lot of confusion and controversy surrounding the invention of the microscope. If Zacharias Janssen invented the compound microscope on the claimed dates between 1590 and 1618 (most commonly given dates of 1590 and 1595), Janssen could have been a child, or not even born yet, as his birth date has been given as 1580, 1585, and 1588. Janssen was a one time neighbor to Hans Lippershey, another inventor laying claim to the microscope. Testimonies offered from various family and friends have also been inconsistent, so the actual inventor, date, and other details surrounding the microscope are impossible to know for fact. Janssen was a known counterfeiter and fraud on other matters, so it is possible he did not invent the microscope at all.
