    The development of the microscope allowed scientists to gain new insights into the body and disease. The Dutch spectacle maker Zacharias Janssen is credited with creating one of the earliest compound microscopes around 1600, which used two lenses. In the 1660s, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek ground his own single lens microscopes that could magnify objects over 200 times, allowing him to observe things like blood cells and sperm that had never been seen before on such a small scale. He shared his findings with the Royal Society in London, where Robert Hooke was also making discoveries with his microscope and published illustrations of microscopic observations in his book Micrographia.

    The development of the microscope allowed scientists to make new perceptivity into the body and complaint.

    It’s not clear who constructed the first microscope, but the Dutch spectacle maker Zacharias Janssen(b. 1585)
    is credited with making one of the foremost emulsion microscopes( bones
    that used two lenses) around 1600.
    The foremost microscopes could magnify an object up to 20 or 30 times its normal size. Leeuwenhoek with

    another Dutchman, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek( 1632- 1723) made microscopes by grinding his own lenses.
    His simple microscopes were more like magnifying spectacles, with only one lens. But the high- quality,
    hand- ground lenses could magnify an object by over to 200 times. Leeuwenhoek observed beast and factory
    towel, mortal sperm and blood cells, minerals, fuds, and numerous other effects that had noway been seen
    before on a bitsy scale. He presented his findings to the Royal Society in London, where Robert Hooke was
    also making remarkable discoveries with a microscope. Hooke published the ‘ Micrographia ’( 1665), an
    astonishing collection of bobby
    - plate illustrations of objects he'd observed with his own emulsion
    microscope. While looking at thin slices of cork, Hooke described what he saw as pores
