Zacharias Janssen

Inventer of the Microscope

Scientific Revolution (1600's-1800's)

Design of the Microscope:

  • The microscope had two draw tubes which could slide out of another outer casing tube.
  • The lenses were at the end of microscope.

(the eyepiece lens was bi-convex and the objective lens was plano-convex)

Zacharias Janssen was first working on and fixed eye glasses before he discovered the microscope. One day he realized that when he put one lens in front the other, it magnifies.

Zacharias Janssen was born in 1580 and died in 1638.

- The Microscope could magnify up to 3-10 times

The microscope helped many other Scientists to advance to better and more useable microscopes like we used today.
