In about 1595, Zacharias Jansenn built the first microscope.
Sometime about the year 1590, two Dutch spectacle makers, Zaccharias Janssen and his father Hans started experimenting with these lenses. They put several lenses in a tube and made a very important discovery. The object near the end of the tube appeared to be greatly enlarged, much larger than any simple magnifying glass could achieve by itself! They had just invented the compound microscope (which is a microscope that uses two or more lenses). somewhere between 1590's
The first primitive microscope was invented in 1590 by two eyeglass makers, but the first telescope used for scientific purposes wasnt invent until the 1600's By Anton Von Leeuwenhoek.
the Romans invented the first microoscope a long time ago. they were expeirimenting with different types of glass and found out that if it was thinner on the edges and thick in the middle it could make small things look larger.
