The first compound microscope is generally credited to Hans Lippershey, a Dutch spectacle maker, in the early 17th century. However, it was later developed and improved by other scientists, notably Galileo Galilei, who built his own version in 1609. The design and functionality of microscopes evolved significantly over time, integrating contributions from various inventors.
Zacharias Janssen's first microscope was called the "simple microscope" or "single lens microscope." It consisted of a single convex lens and was an early version of the compound microscope.
The first person credited with developing the compound microscope is typically Hans Janssen, a Dutch spectacle maker, who, along with his father Zacharias Janssen, is believed to have created the device in the late 16th century. However, the design and improvements of the compound microscope were significantly advanced by other scientists, notably Galileo Galilei and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, who made important contributions to its development and use.
The first microscope was called the "single lens microscope" and was invented by Zacharias Janssen in the late 16th century.
The simple one-lens microscope was invented around the 1100's. The compound microscope was invented in 1590.
The first microscope is credited to Zacharias Janssen and his father Hans Janssen, who were Dutch spectacle makers. They are believed to have invented the first compound microscope in the late 16th century.
The first compound or multi -lens microscope was developed in Holland in 1590 by Hans Janssen and Zacharias.

The first usable compound microscope people used was about 1655 by Robert hooke! :)
Compound microscopes have more than one lens. The first (objective) lens magnifies the object to produce an image. Subsequent lenses magnify an image produced by a previous lens.Leeuwenhoek's "microscope" had only one lens -- simple magnification only.

Zacharias Janssen was the first person to invent the optical telescope. He is also known as the inventor of the compound microscope.
Robert Hooke was the first person to see cells. He saw them with a compound-microscope.
Robert Hooke invented the first compound microscope.
Zacharias Janssen was the first person to invent the microscope and the kind of microscope he made was a compound microscope--a microscope that uses two or more sets of lenses. Plus, the first compound microscope (by Zacharias) was made around 1595 in Middleburg, Holland.
The compound light microscope came first, dating back to the late 16th century. The electron microscope was developed much later in the early 20th century.
The modern compound microscope was invented by Zacharias Janssen in the late 16th century, in collaboration with his father Hans. They were spectacle makers from the Netherlands who were credited with the creation of the first compound microscope.
