Zacharias Jansen, a Dutch spectacle maker, is credited with inventing the compound microscope in the late 16th century, which significantly enhanced the ability to observe microscopic details. This invention laid the groundwork for Anton van Leeuwenhoek, who used improved versions of the microscope to explore the microscopic world. Leeuwenhoek's discoveries of single-celled organisms and bacteria were made possible by the advancements in lens crafting and the optical innovations that Jansen initiated, enabling detailed observation and documentation of microscopic life.
