Here is a picture of a common microscope. Microscopes have come a long way from the simple designs made by Anton Leuwenhoek, considered to be one of the pioneers of microbiology. The microscope shown above is known as a "compound microscope". Other microscope types include "stereo microscopes" and "electron microscopes", the latter of which provide the greatest magnification (but at a very high cost!).
