The original inventor is not easy to identify. An early microscope was made in 1590 in Middelburg, Netherlands.

Two eyeglass makers are variously given credit:

Hans Lippershey and Hans Janssen.

Note also that Giovanni Faber coined the name microscopefor Galileo Galilei's compound microscope in 1625.
