Big picture

Time period Development summary
13th century The development of lenses in eyeglasses probably leads to the wide spread use of simple microscopes (single lens magnifying glasses) with limited magnification.[1][2]
14th century Spectacles are first made in Italy.[2]
16th century Zaccharias and Hans Janssen develop what might be considered the first microscope.
17th century Before the century, almost no one suspected there was life too small to see with the naked eye, with fleas thought to be the smallest possible form of life.[3] Johannes Kepler is generally considered by neuroscentists as the first to recognize that images are projected, inverted and reversed by the eye's lens onto the retina.[4] By the mid 17th century Robert Hooke and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek take the microscope to new levels of development.[2]
18th century Looking through lenses becomes very popular, with many having a microscope when able to afford.[5]
19th century Achromatic microscopes are invented in the first half of the century.[5] By the late 1800s, effective illumination sources develop, opening the way for the modern era of microscopy.[6]
20th century Early in the century, a significant alternative to traditional light microscopes is developed using electrons rather than light to generate an image.[6] The first electron microscope is invented by Max Knoll and Ernst Ruska, blasting past the optical limitations of the light. By the late 1930s, electron microscopes with theoretical resolutions of 10 nm are designed and produced.[7] The second major development for microscopes in the 20th century is the evolution of the mass market.[2] The first commercial transmission electron microscopes are marketed in the 1950s.[6] The 1960s through the 1990s produce many innovative instruments and trends on electron microscopy.[7] In the 1970s, sufficient information on ultrastructural pathology becomes accumulated to allow the use of the electron microscope as a diagnostic tool.[8] In the 1980s, the first scanning probe microscopes are developed and are closely followed by the invention of the atomic force microscope.[6]
21st century Dino-Lite Digital microscopes, a series of handheld digital devices, become one of the more original innovations in the new century.[2]
