- Short Description
- "Zacharias Janssen (/ˈdʒænsən/, also Zacharias Jansen or Sacharias Jansen) (1585 – pre-1632) was a Dutch spectacle-maker from Middelburg associated with the invention of the first optical telescope. Janssen is sometimes also credited for inventing the first truly compound microscope. However, the origin of the microscope, just like the origin of the telescope, is a matter of debate." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.11.2019)
