The microscope was developed in the late 16th century, with significant contributions from Dutch spectacle makers Hans Janssen and his son Zacharias Janssen, who are often credited with creating the first compound microscope. However, it was Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century who is renowned for his advancements in microscopy and for being the first to observe and describe single-celled organisms. His meticulous work laid the foundation for microbiology.
