A Dutch textile merchant, invented a simple (single lens) microscope, originally for the purpose of examining the weave of fabics.  His microscope was a bead-specimen clip.  Even though his microscopes were simpler than Hooke's, they achieved much greater useful magnification (up to 200x) owing to Leeuvehoek's superior lens-grinding skill.
