Microscopes were thought of by the First-century Romans who experimented with different shapes of glass and found the convex shape could magnify. An Arabian scholar, Ibn al Haitham, (962-1038), in his treatise on optics, Opticae Thesaurus Alhazeni Arabis, discussed the ability of a light-passing sphere to enlarge an image.
There is much disagreement as to who made the first microscope. Some point to Dutch spectacle-makers Zacharias and Hans Janssen in the early 17th century, who made an adjustable tube with two lenses, one biconvex and one planar convex. Others say the first 'scope-builder was their colleague Hans Lippershey, and others have even argued it was Galileo.
Regardless of who first "invented" the microscope, the idea spread quickly when British Scientist, Robert Hooke, of England (1665) published his Micrographia in 1665, (which included full-page drawings of fleas, as well as his own pillar-like microscope design).
With his device he looked at a piece of cork (a soft plant tissue found in the bark of cork-oak trees) and to his astonishment saw tiny little box-like rooms. He called them 'cells' which means in Latin "little rooms". Hooke is given the credit of being the first scientist to see the division of living tissue in smaller units. This inspired other opticians to try their own hand at building 'scopes.
omg I'm so dumb this is not right
What else can I help you with?
Who invented the first electron microscope?
The first electron microscope was invented by Max Knoll and Ernst Ruska in 1931. They were able to achieve much higher magnification than traditional light microscopes by using electrons instead of light to image specimens.
How is a magnifying lens similar to the first microscope invented?
Both a magnifying lens and the first microscope invented use lenses to magnify and enhance the appearance of small objects. They both rely on the principle of bending light to make objects appear larger than they are in reality.
How did the first microscope work?
The first person to make microscope was Zacharias Jansen, he is a male and was Dutch. He lived in Middelburg. Around Holland in 1595, he got credit for his invention and his helper's, Shans Lippershey, and Hans Jenssen.

The transmission electron microscope was invented in 1931 by German engineers Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll.
When was the electron microscope invented?
1928 i believe by the Germans... someone check me on that... it wasnt the electron microscope we know today but it was the same concept only it magnified by a small 17 times... it has be improved since then

What is the name of the first microscope invented?
The first microscopes were called "flea glasses" because they could provide increased observation of anything the size of a flea.
How much did the first microscope magnify by?
The first microscope, invented by Zacharias Janssen in the late 16th century, had a magnification of around 3x to 9x. This early microscope used a simple lens system to magnify objects.
