More than 400 years ago in Holland, Zacharias Jansenn was in the business of grinding lenses for eyeglasses.
Some of his lenses made things look bigger. He found that he could put two lenses together to make things look a LOTbigger.
So, in about 1595, Zacharias built the first microscope. ("Micro" means "small." "Scope" means "to see.")
The first microscopes made things look 20 or 30 times larger than they are. This is enough to see the details of some tiny plants and insects and animals that are too small to see with just our eyes.
Zacharias Janssen (Netherlands) invented the telescope and perhaps the compound micoscope in 1590.
In 1590 Zacharias Janssen (Netherlands) invented the compound microscope.

No, Thomas Edison did not invent the microscope. The microscope was actually invented by Dutch spectacle maker Zacharias Janssen and his father Hans in the late 16th century. Edison is best known for his inventions in the field of electricity and communication, such as the phonograph and the incandescent light bulb.
Theodor Schwann did not invent the microscope. He was a German physiologist who made significant contributions to the cell theory in the 19th century, but the invention of the microscope is credited to Zacharias Janssen and Hans Lippershey in the late 16th century.
The light microscope also called the optical microscope uses visibale light and a system of lenses. The actual inventor is difficult to name although Galileo's microscope was celebrated in 1624 and was the first such device to be given the name "microscope". There are claims that a Dutch spectacle-makers Hans Janssen and his son, Zacharias Janssen, but this was a declaration made by Zacharias Janssen himself during the mid 1600s.
Zacharias Janssen did not invent the microscope; it was actually invented by his father, Hans Janssen, in the late 16th century. The invention of the microscope was motivated by the desire to explore and observe the minuscule details of the natural world. Hans Janssen's microscope paved the way for advancements in scientific research and understanding of the microscopic realm.
