Abstract
The light microscope started to become a serious tool for scientific discovery around 1650, when the Dutchman Anthony van Leeuwenhoek started building and using unique simple devices, which would hold a single glass bead as the magnifying element. It is always amazing, how much he was able to see with such a primitive instrument, as documented in his remarkable drawings. Around the same time Robert Hooke in England also started with a simple magnifier but soon added a second magnification stage for the real first compound microscope. His remarkable discoveries were published in 1 667 in Micrographia Illustrata.
