The Microscope has been around since the 1st century Roman times. But the person who actually got the lenses to work to see the cells was Anthony Leeuwenhoek.

The word microscope came from two Greek words, "mikros" which meant small and "skopos" used for watcher. So microscope is a watcher of small. This is an instrument used to see tiny things which are invisible to the naked eye. If a simple convex lens is placed between the eye and the object, the object can be brought nearer than 25 centimetres and still be in focus. We can simply describe this as "using a magnifying glass. Ordinary magnifying glasses are really "simple microscopes" and as they have been known since remote times. So when we speak of the invention of the microscope, we mean "the compound microscope". In this kind of microscope, magnification takes place in two stages. There are two lenses used in a microscope, one is "the objective" and another one is "the eyepiece". But in practical practice, there are several lenses used for both the objective and eyepiece, but the principle is that of two stages magnification.
The compound microscope was invented between the time 1590 to 1610, and the credit is given to Galileo. But Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch scientist is called "the father of the microscope", but that's because of the many discoveries he did with the microscope.
