Answer
Microscopes are optical instruments that use lenses to magnify objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. In 1872, Carl Zeiss and Ernst Abbe developed a new design for microscopes that greatly improved their resolution and magnification. Their design used achromatic lenses, which corrected for chromatic aberration, and a condenser, which focused the light on the specimen.
