Who is the founder of microscope

Hey there,

The microscope is generally credited to Zacharias Janssen, a Dutch spectacle maker, who is believed to have invented the first compound microscope around 1590. However, historians debate this, and some sources also mention his father Hans Janssen or Hans Lippershey as possible contributors.

Hello Student,

The invention of microscope is generally credited to Zacharias Janseen and his father Hans Janseen, who are believed to have developed the first compound microscope around 1590.

Later, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek greatly improved microscope design and become famous for observing microorganism earning him the title "Father of Microbiology."

Therefore, Zacharias Janseen is considered the inventor (founder) of the microscope.

Thank you.
