Zacharias Janssen was the first scientist who is responsible for the invention of the compound microscope. The scientist worked and manufactured the different type of lenses. He made a cylindrical tube-like structure and arranged many different lenses in different orientations within the tube. This led to the formation of the compound microscope which was also known as the telescope.
