How was the compound microscope invented?
Zacharias Janssen and his son Johannes (Hans), spectacle makers in Holland, are usually credited with inventing the first compound microscope in about 1590. (Hans Lippershey, a spectacle maker in the same city, Middelburg, Netherlands, also claimed credit for the invention but was perhaps more instrumental in the creation of the telescope.) It was said that the Zacharias Janssen was experimenting with ways to improve spectacles for people who needed greater magnification to improve eyesight, but nothing more specific than simply experimenting with multiple lenses can be associated with how he invented the compound microscope. It is worth noting that at the same time experimentation by other spectacle makers and lens makers was leading to the discovery of the telescope, another optical instrument of two lenses. Two decades later, Galileo Galilei built a compound microscope and changed the lens design lens (convex and concave lens).

Why is the light microscope called a compound microscope?
Because it is made up of more than one lens. A simple microscope is make up of one lens (a hand held magnifying glass can also be considered as a simple microscope). In a compound microscope, one cannot see the magnified image until both the lenses are used.
