Anthony van Leeuwenhoek is credited with developing the modern microscope, but it could not be said that he invented the first microscope. He improved upon previous inventions by increasing magnification by up to 270 times the size of the sample being studied, using a single lens. The invention of the precursors to the modern microscope is credited to Dutch eyeglass makers Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen, who each - independently - had input into using glass and lenses to increase magnification.
The first microscope was made around 1595 in Holland.
