The first microscope was constructed by Antony van Leeuwenhoek in 1632-1723. His microscopes used single biconvex lens & were called simple microscopes. It had a considerable magnifying power up to 200 times.
Robert hooke in 1635-1703, an English scientist, developed a microscope by using two lenses or achieving greater magnification. Such microscopes were later known as compound microscopes which magnifies an object up to a maximum of about 2000 times. He first examined a thin slice of cork under his microscope & observed that it was made of tiny boxlike compartments piled up together. This reminded him of the rooms, or cells, of monks in a monastery & so he said that the cork was made up of cells. The cells that he examined were all dead cells & they had only empty boxes or the walls.
The invention of electronic microscope added further to the unknown facts about cells. It gave a magnification to over 200,000 times. It uses beams of electrons which are bent by magnets.
Who invented the microscope

The microscope was invented in the Netherlands by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century.
What was developed after Robert Hooke invented the microscope
The microscope invented by Robert Hooke is known as the compound microscope. It was one of the earliest microscopes with multiple lenses for magnification.
