Microscope History

The oldest history of microscope goes to 1590s, when two Dutch spectacle makers, Zacharias Jansen and his father Hans Jansen, started some tests with lenses. They combined several lenses and put inside a tube and boom, they made the discovery. They saw an object at the end of the tube can bee seen way larger than it was supposed to be. The very fist microscope was invented this way had a magnification about 9x. The achieved image was much larger than that by a magnifying glass but ofcourse it was blurry.
