    The lenses’s application by Euclid and Ptolemy wouldn’t arisen so early in history, If the Greeks had not been curious to amplify the images of the world around them.

    Late sixteenth century, the invention a two lens microscope with increases of 10 times, is attributed to the Dutch Zacharias Jansen (1590), but also to Italian Galileo Galilei (1609). If they hadn’t built those first optical tools, the microscopy would have had a slower development.
  • Blood Circulation

    Blood Circulation
    If hadn’t built microscope to 1628, William Harvey wouldn’t have observed the blood capillaries, and his discoveries about the blood circulation would have been less accurate
  • The cell as a structure

    The cell as a structure
    If Robert Hooke hadn’t used a compound microscope to observe layers of cork, he wouldn´t have noticed the small portions that made the material and wouldn’t have given the term cell.
  • AN INVISIBLE WORLD

    AN INVISIBLE WORLD
    If Antonie van Leeuwenhoek hadn’t built a simple microscope with magnification up to 480 times, with which he made multiple observations, the discovery of microorganisms and the emergence of bacteriology would have been delayed.
  • Theory of the microscope

    Theory of the microscope
    If Ernst Abbe hadn’t replaced the water with oil to improved immersion microscopes, those wouldn’t have obtained an optical magnification up to 2000, that now is very important in microbiology.
  • Electronic microscope

    Electronic microscope
    If Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll hadn’t invented the electronic microscope, the cellular organelle’s observations by society wouldn’t have been displayed with important consequences in cell biology
  • Microscope SEM

    Microscope SEM
    Many scientific investigations wouldn’t have been possible, if in 1942 Scientifics hadn’t invented scanning electron microscope, that allows to observe the surface and texture of the several samples.
  • Microscope STM

    Microscope STM
    In 1981 scientists Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer, built the Scanning Tunneling Microscope, if they hadn’t invented that technology, the construction of new materials would have been more limited.
  • Microscope AFM

    Microscope AFM
    If Binnig and Rohrer hadn’t invented the Atomic Force Microscope in 1985, the development of nanotechnology, for characterization and visualization of samples at nanoscale, wouldn’t have increased
