A. Robert Hooke

C. Anton van Leeuwenhoek

D. Rudolf Virchow

Answer 1

Sometime about the year 1590, two Dutch spectacle makers, Zaccharias Janssen and his father Hans started experimenting with these lenses.  They put several lenses in a tube and made a very important discovery.  The object near the end of the tube appeared to be greatly enlarged, much larger than any simple magnifying glass could achieve by itself!  They had just invented the compound microscope (which is a microscope that uses two or more lenses).
