The microscope was not "discovered" (that supposes it already existed but had not been found) but it was made. Quote: "Microscopes trace their history back almost 1200 years with Abbas Ibn Firnas's corrective lenses,[1] and it was Ibn al-Haytham's Book of Optics - written between 1011 and 1021 - that laid the foundation for optical research on the magnifying glass. Also, a device called the reading stone by an unknown inventor (thought to be Ibn Firnas) magnified text when laid on top of reading materials.[2] The first true microscope was made around 1595 in Middelburg, The Netherlands.[3] Three different eyeglass makers have been given credit for the invention: Hans Lippershey (who also developed the first real telescope); Sacharias Jansen; and his son, Zacharias. The coining of the name "microscope" has been credited to Giovanni Faber, who gave that name to Galileo Galilei's compound microscope in 1625.[4] (Galileo had called it the "occhiolino" or "little eye".)" From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscope which is pretty trustworthy here.
