The first compound microscope was made circa 1590 in The Netherlands. Hans Lippershey, Sacharias Jansen, and Hans Jenssen, all eyeglass makers, have each been given credit for the invention, using two separated lenses to greatly increase magnification.
About 1670, Anton van Leeuwenhoek dramatically increased the magnifying power of the simple microscope by creating small spheres of high-quality glass, from which powerful lenses could be made.

∙ 10y agoCredit for the first compound microscope (multiple lenses) is generally given to Zacharias Jansen and John Lippershey of the Netherlands, in 1590.
Anton von Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) famously used a microscope in the study of living things, becoming "the father of microbiology."
