The simplest answer is that they were created to see things, or details, that are too small for the human eye to see. Early tradesmen used simple lenses to see the intricate lines of engravings, or the clasps and fittings on jewelry. When eyeglass makers began combining pairs of carefully-ground lenses, they discovered the principle of optical magnification that is the basis for the microscope (and the telescope). In the case of the microscope, there were immediate practical applications in Biology, anatomy, and miniature mechanical gearing.
More than 400 years ago in Holland, Zacharias Jansenn was in the business of grinding lenses for eyeglasses.
Some of his lenses made things look bigger. He found that he could put two lenses together to make things look a LOTbigger.
So, in about 1595, Zacharias built the first microscope. ("Micro" means "small." "Scope" means "to see.")
The first microscopes made things look 20 or 30 times larger than they are. This is enough to see the details of some tiny plants and insects and animals that are too small to see with just our eyes.
This historical controversy around the invention of the microscope involves credit to either Hans Lippershey or Zacharias Jansen.
The father Hans Jansen is usually credited with making the first microscopes with the help of his son Zacharias Jansen.
The matter is complex because Hans Lippershey and Hans and Zacharias Jansen were all in the business of making spectacles in the same city of Middelburg, Netherlands at the time the invention process was occurirng. Furthermore, both the telescope and compound microscope were claimed by both. In addition, Jacob Metius (also Dutch and a lens grinder) and Hans Lippershey both submitted patent applications for the telescope in 1608.
Zacharias Jansen was from Holland and he worked fixing the eyepieces of glasses. He saw that when he put one lens in front of the other he could see things so microscopic it was unreal. Thus Zacharias Jansen founded the first microscope.

FYI he did not invent the microscope the Romans did search it on the web
Zacharias Janssen was the first person to invent the optical telescope. He is also known as the inventor of the compound microscope.
Hans and Zacharias Janssen invented the microscope
In 1590 Zacharias Janssen (Netherlands) invented the compound microscope.
Hans Janssen was the supposed creator of the microscope, along with his son, Zacharias Janssen. Actually, Hans Janssen was the son of Zacharias Janssen, not the other way around. And yes they did invent the first Compound Microscope in the year 1590.
Although Thomas Edison invented many things and was a legend to the world of science, he did not invent the microscope. That gadget was invented by Zacharias Janssen.
Zacharias Janssen invented the first compound microscope.

The light microscope also called the optical microscope uses visibale light and a system of lenses. The actual inventor is difficult to name although Galileo's microscope was celebrated in 1624 and was the first such device to be given the name "microscope". There are claims that a Dutch spectacle-makers Hans Janssen and his son, Zacharias Janssen, but this was a declaration made by Zacharias Janssen himself during the mid 1600s.
the first person to make a microscope isZach who is the fathe of Zacharias Janssen. the first person to make a microscope isZach who is the father of Zacharias Janssen.
