6. The History of the Microscope
7. History of the MicroscopeA long time ago (around the 1st century) someone picked up a piece of crystal which was thicker in the middle…looked through it and discovered it made things look LARGER.
8. History of the MicroscopeThat piece of crystal was called a “magnifying glass” and then later was called a lens because it was shaped like a lentil seed. =
9. History of the MicroscopeThen, in the 13th century (1200’s) an Italian inventor made the first eye glasses, allowing the wearer to have magnification. His name was Salvino D’Armate. Eye glasses were also called spectacles.
10. History of the MicroscopeThe earliest forms of magnification were magnifying glasses, usually between 6x to 10x, and were used for looking at tiny insects. These excited general wonder when used to view fleas or tiny creeping things and so were dubbed "flea glasses."
11. History of the MicroscopeIn the 1590’s two Dutch eye glass makers, Zacharias Jensen and his father Hans, started experimenting with lenses…
12. History of the MicroscopeThe Jansens put several lenses in a tube and made a very important discovery…the object at the end of the tube appeared MUCH larger than when it was under a plain magnifying lens!
13. History of the MicroscopeIn the late 1600’s, Anton Van Leeuwenhoek became the first person to make and use a real microscope.
14. History of the MicroscopeAnton Van Leeuwenhoek achieved even greater success than his peers by making superior lenses. He learned how to grind and polish lenses. He arranged them in a lens tube and achieved a magnification of 270x – others were lucky to achieve 50x with their microscopes!
15. History of the MicroscopeAnton Van Leeuwenhoek was the first to see bacteria, yeast, and life found in a drop of pond water. He found extraordinary things using his microscope throughout his lifetime.Here is a look at a virtual drop of pond water:Pond Water
16. History of the MicroscopeAn English scientist named Robert Hooke further developed Anton Van Leewenhoek’s work and in 1665 Hooke discovered cells.
17. History of the MicroscopeRobert Hooke developed a primitive compound microscope
18. History of the MicroscopeRobert Hooke’s Micrographia was known for stunning illustrations he did himself of the microscopic world.

21. History of the MicroscopeDespite these great discoveries, microscopes did not change much over the next 200 years.
22. History of the MicroscopeIn the 1850’s a German engineer named Carl Zeiss began making adjustments to the microscopes he was manufacturing, making them even better.
23. History of the MicroscopeWith the advancement of technology and improved optics, the compound light microscope came into being.
