There are two accounts of the microscope before it was officially invented.
This information is from AWAKE.
Galileo must have been awed. On that evening in 1609 he had pointed his crude telescope toward that great arc of light that ancient men called a ?circle of milk.? With the assistance of his telescope (left) Galileo could see what no human eye had seen before: The Milky Way was ?a mass of innumerable stars.?
A little over 70 years later a Dutch businessman named Antoni van Leeuwenhoek also peered through a homemade contraption of glass and metal. He, though, had no formal scientific training; grinding and polishing lenses was a hobby. From these lenses, however, he constructed crude versions of an instrument that would grant mankind entry into a universe of another sort: the micro world, where a drop of water or just a tiny spoonful of soil would teem with life.
