    The document discusses the invention of the microscope. It describes how in the 1st century AD, the Romans were the first to use microscopes. However, the compound microscope, which uses multiple lenses, was invented in the 1590s by two Dutch spectacle makers named Zaccharias Janssen and his father Hans Janssen. Their discovery that placing an object near the end of a tube with two lenses greatly enlarged the object led to the invention of the compound microscope.

    THE MICROSCOPE

    A microscope is an  instrument 
    used to see objects that are too
    small to be seen by the naked eye
    The invention
    1st century (year 100) -> The Romans
    Zaccharias Janssen and his
    father, Hans Janssen
    About the year
    1590, two
    spectacle
    makers 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 !

    They had just invented the


    compound microscope (which
    is a microscope that uses two or
    more lenses).
    thanks for your attention
    That's the way the microscope was
