For many, the inferior, but much easier to use, compound instruments remained preferred, but their optical defects made their use limited. His instruments were all small and hand-held, and in use were required to be used very close to the eye.
He made most of the early major discoveries in microscopical science. Leeuwenhoek, (likely inspired by Hooke), who first widely used the simple microscope to study tiny things indeed Van Leeuwenhoek was the first to report many things only visible
Simple microscopes, capable of magnifying beyond the limits of simple magnifiers, were known at the time of the invention of the compound microscope (circa 1600), and some pointed out their optical superiority but they were inconvenient or evenĭifficult to use however. Higher magnification than a linen prover requires much smaller lenses of greater curvature, which had to made of high quality glass, something not easily obtained in those early days. For instance people who dealt in cloth needed to magnify the cloth enough to inspect the number of threads per inch, felt to be an indicator of 'quality,' especially in the remote past linen provers are among the types of specialized simple microscopes in this collection. Theįirst use of lenses to magnify was a practical one. For this reason, the ability of a lens to enlarge a subject in a major way was not immediately obvious to the makers of spectacles. Microscopes three to four hundred years later seems hard to understand until one realizes that spectacles require only a small amount of magnification even for the most severely vision impaired. Time of the invention of spectacles and the use of the first The reason for the lack of progress between the Of microscopy, studying objects enlarged by lenses would have to wait until Galileo's time. They were not originally designed to do anything more though than simply restore impaired vision.
The Italians invented spectacles in the thirteenth century as well. Roger Bacon described some work with magnifying lenses. About the year 1000, the Arabs were studying optical physics and in the thirteenth century, the Englishman Using a glass ball filled with water the Romans reported the ability to magnify print as early as the year 65.
Glass lenses capable of magnification date back to ancient times. Microscope is even more obscure than the early history of the compound microscope. In some ways the early history of the Simple (also known as Single)
