Answer 2

Answer:

   Advances in technology influence the development of the microscope because "new technology allowed microscopes to make it easier to view things that had never been seen before, such as cells".

Explanation:

• Micro means small and scope means instrument to view objects that are 'too small' to see through the naked eye.
• The early microscopes just used a magnifying glass but with advancement of lenses, microscopes began to evolve.
• Anthony Van Leeuwenhoek, the pioneer in microscopy, was the 'first person' to construct a real microscope.
• The discovery of a cell under a microscope by Robert Hooke made a huge impact which also led to need for later advancements in microscopes like simple, compound and advanced microscopes.
