		Hans Lippershey (1570?-1619) was a German-born Dutch lens maker who demonstrated the first refracting telescope in 1608, made from two lenses; he applied for a patent for this optical refracting telescope (using 2 lenses) in 1608, intending it for use as a military device.
		Hans and his son Zacharias Janssen are mentioned in the letters of William Boreel (the Dutch envoy to the Court of France) as having invented a 20X magnification microscope.

		Hans Lippershey (1570-1619) was a Dutch lensmaker, credited with creating and disseminating designs for the first practical telescope.
		Crude telescopes and spyglasses may have been created much earlier, but Lippershey is believed to be the first to try and patent his design and make it available for wide use in 1608.
		There is a legend that Lippershey's children actually discovered the telescope while playing with flawed lenses in their father's shop, but this may be apocryphal.

		Hans Lippershey was a German-born spectacle maker who lived in The Netherlands.
		Although Lippershey's device was the first known example of a practical refracting telescope, his claims to being its sole inventor are still challenged to this day.
		The significance of Lippershey's device is that it made practical use of an effect that had previously been regarded as little more than a lens grinder's parlor trick.

	Who was the first person to use a telescope
		Hans Lippershey, born in Germany in 1570 but raised in Holland, was probably the first person to use a telescope in that he invented the telescope, demonstrating the first refracting telescope in 1608.
		Lippershey, a lens maker by trade created this telescope from two lenses and applied for a patent for it, thinking that it would be useful to the military.
		Lippershey was, indeed, the first person to use a telescope that he himself invented and then used to demonstrate its usefulness to the military.

		Lippershey was a lens and spectacle maker who is credited with the invention of the telescope.
		Lippershey investigated this and discovered that by using one large convex lens combined with a concave lens, and placing them at either end of a tube, he could see objects up to four times their normal size.

	Hans Lippershey@Everything2.com
		Prior to Lippershey's (likely fortuitous) construction of the telescope, the idea of combining lenses to enable the magnification of distant objects probably occurred to several people, dating back to at least the late 13th century.
		Lippershey took the lenses and trained them on a distant church steeple, which suddenly loomed large in front of his eyes.
		Although Lippershey didn't receive a patent, he was paid 900 florins by the Dutch government for several working instruments, a nice windfall for the Dutch spectacles-maker.

		Hans Lippershey (1570-September 1619) was a Dutch lensmaker.
		Crude telescopes and spyglasses may have been created much earlier, but Lippershey is believed to be the first to apply for a patent for his design (beating out Jacob Metius by a few weeks), and making it available for general use in 1608.
		Lippershey was inspired by this and created a device very similar to the telescope today.

		Although the patent was eventually denied because it was felt that the device could not be kept a secret, Lippershey made several binocular telescopes for the States General and was paid handsomely for his services.
		The surviving records are not sufficient to decide who was the actual (or as it was put in the seventeenth century, the first) inventor of the telescope.

		Louis Bell speculates that Lippershey's instrument was likely 3 or 4 power, with an objective of an inch and one half or less in diameter.
		Henry King, whose History of the Telescope is more authoritative than Bell's work, agrees that Hans Lippershey applied for the patent, and was requested to produce a binocular telescope with optics of quartz, but is mute on whether the instrument was successfully completed.
		Lippershey's customers were the very first telescope buyers, and had no experience with viewing through an eyepiece to refer to.
