The first well known users were van Leeuwenhoek and Hooke.
Van Leeuwenhoek used a single lens microscope, Hooke used a
compound microscope. The instruments used by Van
Leeuwenhoek were far superior to those of Hooke, due to the
fact that lens corrections were unknown at the time and the
compound microscopes used by Hooke added the lens faults of
eyepiece and objective. So it was Van Leeuwenhoek who made
the most discoveries, also due to his sharp eyesight and his
unfailing curiosity.
The close up image shows the simplicity of a Van Leeuwenhoek
microscope. A subject was placed on the needle and could be
positioned with the adjusting screw.
