Microscope History
Circa 1000AD –
The first vision aid
was invented
(inventor unknown)
called a reading
stone. It was a glass sphere that
magnified when laid on top of reading
materials.

Tidbits
• Galileo heard of their experiments and
started experimenting on his own. He
improved both the microscope and
telescope.
• He added a focusing device to his
microscope and advanced the field of
astronomy with his telescope.
Robert Hooke
• 1655 – Robert
Hooke used a
compound
microscope to
observe pores in
cork
– He called them
“cells”
Tidbits
• The “cells” Robert Hooke found were
from a once living thing.
• He was the first to discover that living
things were made of cells.
• This advanced our understanding in the
field of biology.
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
• 1672-Leeuwenhoek
refined lens
grinding. Creating
lenses able to
magnify up to 270X.
• 1st to see singlecelled organisms in
pond water
• Father of Microscopy
Tidbits
• Leewenhoek’s discovery of living
organisms that could not be seen by
the naked eye, began the field of
microbiology.
• It also led to future discoveries of
viruses and bacteria.
Timed Think-Pair-Share
• How did Zaccharius and Hans Janssen,
Robert Hooke, and Anton Van
Leeuwenhoek contribute to the
scientific field?
• Janssen created the first compound
microscope.
• Hooke used the compound microscope
to discover cells in living things.
• Leewenhoek refined the lenses and
magnification and discovered
microscopic organisms.
• The discovery and advancements of the
microscope led to further advancements
in the fields of astronomy, biology, and
microbiology.
Exit Ticket
• On a half sheet of paper…
• Write a paragraph explaining how
Zaccharius and Hans Janssen, Robert
Hooke, and Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
contributed to the scientific field.
Did we meet our objective?
I will explain the scientific contributions
