Who invented the microscope? It is not definitively known who invented the microscope. However, the earliest microscopes seem to have been made by Dutch opticians Hans Janssen and his son Zacharias Janssen and by Dutch instrument maker Hans Lippershey (who also invented the telescope) about 1590. What are microscope slides?
A history of the microscope starting with use of a simple lens to the first compound microscope in 1590 and including the microscopes of the 19th century.
From the 1830s, cells and cell theory became the focus of medical and biological research, thanks to the central role of the microscope in laboratory science. Researchers were able to describe the body at the microscopic level more consistently and with greater confidence in what they saw.
Microscopes let us view an invisible world – the objects around us that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. This timeline provides a look at some of the key advances in microscopy. ~710 BC – Nimrud lens
In this post, I’ll outline the evolution of the microscope from the rudimentary lenses of the 1590s through to the sophisticated atom-viewing electron microscopes of today. Let’s start with a quick run-through of the timeline. If you’re looking for a timeline of microscope discoveries, see here.
The microscope was one of the most significant inventions of the Scientific Revolution, opening up completely new and miniaturised worlds. The first microscopes were invented in the first quarter of...
Both spectacles and microscopes are relevant to microscopes because they trace the increasingly sophisticated use of lenses - the essential optical component of any microscope. Then, a mere 200-300 years later, we find a plethora of references and hard evidence of both telescopes and microscopes.
