| Popis: | The precursor of today's light microscope was invented probably in the Netherlands about 1600. In effect it previously involved a two lens system - objective and the eyepiece. As such it was termed a compound microscope. It differed from the simple one-lens microscope of Anthony Leeuwenhoek in the 1600's. The image was so bad, however, that most microscopists preferred to use the simple one-lens microscope. Leeuwenhoek, with his one-lens microscope, magnifying up to 280X, discovered foraminifera and many other “wee beasties”, even bacteria and spermatozoa. |
