A magnifying lens
Zacharias Janssen's first microscope was called the "simple microscope" or "single lens microscope." It consisted of a single convex lens and was an early version of the compound microscope.
A compound light microscope is able to provide more clarity and detail than a single lens microscope, which is its advantage. Compound refers to the microscope having more than one lens.
The first microscope was called the "simple microscope" or "single lens microscope". It was developed in the late 16th century and consisted of a single convex lens used to magnify small objects.

You can change the power of a single-lens microscope by adjusting the distance between the lens and the specimen. Moving the lens closer to the specimen increases the magnification, while moving it farther away decreases the magnification.
Janssen's microscope was a compound microscope with a series of lenses for magnification, while Leeuwenhoek's microscope was a simple, single-lens microscope. Janssen's microscope allowed for higher magnification and better resolving power compared to Leeuwenhoek's microscope. Additionally, Janssen's microscope was more complex and had a more refined design than Leeuwenhoek's simple microscope.
The first microscope was called the "single lens microscope" and was invented by Zacharias Janssen in the late 16th century.
