A microscope is a device that allows us to see tiny objects in a much larger and clearer way by using the principles of refraction or reflection. The exact origin and inventor of microscopes are unclear, but they are believed to have been first utilized in Germany around the year 1621.
Read the following passage from A Catechism of Familiar Things.
A microscope is an optical instrument, by means of which very minute objects are represented exceedingly large, and viewed very distinctly according to the laws of refraction or reflection. Nothing certain is known respecting the inventor of microscopes, or the exact time of their invention, but that they were first used in Germany, about 1621.
Paraphrase the passage above.
