Biography:
Optical instrument maker and natural philosopher, who invented the screw-barrel simple microscope in circa 1694. First to observe spermicide through a microscope. Hartsoeker worked most of his life in France. In 1699, when he returned to the Dutch Republic, he was elected member of the Academie Royale des Sciences and in 1704 of the Königlich-Preußische Akademie der Wissenschaften, in both cases as one of the first foreign members. When Czar Peter the Great visited Amsterdam, he was offered the chair of mathematics in St Petersburg. Hartsoeker rejected this offer, but later, in 1704, Hartsoeker accepted the position of "first mathematician and honorary professor of philosophy" at the University of Heidelberg, offered to him by Johann Wilhelm, Elector the Palatine. He returned to the Netherlands around 1720. The last years of his life were spent in Utrecht.

Biography:
Jacobus Lommers was an optical, physical, astronomical and mathematical instrument maker. He was born in Gulick (Germany) and moved to Utrecht around 1710, where he had a workshop in the Zadelstraat. In 1743 he was commissioned to maintain the city's astronomical instruments. Lommers made magnets for Petrus van Musschenbroek. In 1767 Hendrik Huijsen (the son of the instrument maker Jacob Huijsen) succeeded Lommers as curator of the astronomical instruments of Utrecht University. An objective glass by him was in the auction of instrument maker Jan Paauw (1804), 52. Telescopes were also in the Petrus van Musschenbroek sale (1761): no. 314: 'een doos met vele objectief en oculaire glazen, keurlijk gesleepen door Lommers'. A magnet signed: 'J. Lommertius a Utrecht 1739' was in the collection Allamand (1788). A magnet, signed "J. Lommers, 1711" is mentioned in the auction sale catalogie of David J. Hahn (1785).
Collections: Scheepvaartmuseum, Amsterdam (a four-draw telescope with a brass cap, dated 1765), Utrecht, Universiteitsmuseum (an objective lens, signed '13 voet Rhinlant Jacobus Lommers ft', two microscopes, dated 1751 and 1760, and a magic lantern), Museum Boerhaave, Leiden (a microscope, dated 1759), Nederlands Legermuseum, Delft (the barrels of a pair of flintlock pyrotechnic pistols).
