The first microscope was made by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch cloth merchant so that he could examine the quality of fine thread better than he could with existing magnifiers. His microscopes used only one spherical glass lens, but many could magnify up to 275 times (it is believed he had made a few capable of magnifying up to 500 times).
