History of Microscope • 18th century – Technical innovations improved the microscope and microscopy got more popular. • 1830 – Joseph Lister gave prototype to the first compound microscope • 1872 – maximum resolution for microscopes achieved by setting lens apart mathematically. • 1903 – Richard Zsigmondy developed ultra microscope that used wavelengths instead of light.
History of Microscope • 1931 – Ernst Ruska Co-Invented the electron microscope that used electrons instead of light. • 1981 – Gerard Binning and Heinrich Rohrer invented a scanning tunneling microscope that give 3-dimensional images of objects to an atomic level.
