by the end of the seventeenth century, van leeuwenhoek had a virtual monopoly on microscopic study and discovery. his contemporary robert hooke, an early microscope pioneer, bemoaned that the field had come to rest entirely on one man's shoulders. he was visited over the years by many notable individuals, such as the russian tsar peter the great. to the disappointment of his guests, van leeuwenhoek refused to reveal the cutting-edge microscopes he relied on for his discoveries, instead showing visitors a collection of average-quality lenses.

oberhaeuser's first commercial venture was during partnership with bouquet und achille trécourt in 1822. oberhaeuser produced one of his most successful early microscope designs for the student market. as research in cell biology and botany broadened, students needed a capable microscope more affordable than the complex expensive models available. the small drum microscope was the combination of a sturdy stand, based on earlier designs by fraunhofer and martin.









































oberhaeuser often followed the lead of giovanni battista amici in development of his optical designs, including his adoption of the short 7 inch body tube and amici's early objective designs.
