Dutch maker of spectacles who invented the first compound microscope in 1590 (a compound microscope is one which has more than one lens). The lens in the eyepiece was bi-convex (bulging outwards on both sides), and the lens of the far end (the objective lens) was plano-convex (flat on one side and bulging outwards on the other side). This advanced microscope had a 3 to 9 times power of magnification. In 1608 he made the first telescope together with Hans Lippershey.
Hans and Zacharias Janssen are credited with inventing the first compound microscope in the late 16th century. Their creation revolutionized the field of optics and laid the foundation for modern microscopy.
Hans and Zacharias Janssen invented the compound microscope in 1595.

zacharias and Hans janssen invented the microscope
The compound microscope was invented by Zacharias Janssen in the late 16th century, although others like Hans and Zacharias Janssen, Hans Lippershey, and Hans Martens claim to have contributed to its development. The electron microscope was later invented in the 20th century by Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll.
The inventor of the microscope is typically credited to Dutch spectacle maker Zacharias Janssen around 1590. However, Hans Lippershey and Hans Jansen are also sometimes associated with the invention of the microscope.
Hans Janssen was born on November 24, 1590, in the Netherlands. He was a skilled optician and invented the compound microscope with his son Zacharias Janssen in the late 16th century. Their invention revolutionized the field of microscopy and laid the foundation for modern optical instruments.

It is widely believed that Dutch spectacle makers, Zacharias Jansen and his father Hans were responsible for this invention. This was in the late 16th century.
