The simple microscope used a single lens, what we would now call a magnifying glass. They had a magnification up to 10 times so were not powerful. They seem to have made their first appearance at the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14 century. The Romans knew something about the properties of lenses but did not see the potential for them.
The compound microscope used two or more lenses and the principle was credited to Zaccharius Janssen and Hans Jannsen, his son. It took Galileo to properly understand the principles and produce the first practical microscope early in the 17th century. Many others who followed took the ideas and refined them to increase clarity and magnification.
As with so many inventions, the first practical devices were based on the work of many people rather than just one person.

A simple microscope an electron microscope is one that uses the focus of electron beams instead of regular light from lenses. It allowed scientists to discover new germ cells, bacteria, and eventually viruses. the simple microscope was invented in 1600s

How Which one of the following types of microscope gives the highest amount of magnification Light microscope Electron microscope Simple microscope?
An electron microscope provides the highest amount of magnification compared to a light microscope or a simple microscope. Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons to visualize specimens at much higher magnifications and resolutions than light microscopes.
What is the simple microscope that Aton Van Leeuwenhoek used to observe cells?
A light microscope.
What is the name of the microscope Robert hooke invented?
The microscope invented by Robert Hooke is known as the compound microscope. It was one of the earliest microscopes with multiple lenses for magnification.
