Robert Hooke invented the first compound microscope.

a compopund microscope is a microscope with more than one lense but I've never heard of a zoom compound microscope, maybe it's just another name?
There is no apparent connection between van Leeuwenhoek who developed his simple (single lens) microscope system and the work of Zacharias Janssen is associated with the compound (two lens) microscope invented in 1590. Van Leeuwenhoek was unable to use the compound microscope because magnification was too low. The microscopes built by van Leeuwenhoek (around 1670) had ten times the magnification of the compound microscopes of the day. One could say that Janssen helped van Leeuwenhoek succeed by getting everyone else to use the inferior microscope.
By inventing compound microscope.

The compound microscope is called compound because the modifier compound means "two or more." A compound microscope has two or more lenses lenses. This is to be distinguished from a simple microscope which has one lens. Such a microscope is structurally equivalent to a magnifying glass, though not necessarily a hand held lens.

A compound microscope consists of several lenses operating together, whereas a simple microscope is one lens, like a magnifying glass. A compound microscope gives higher magnification and also better resolution than a simple microscope.
