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:
Clockmaker from Haarlem, who moved to The Hague in 1643. From 1646 his workshop was located the corner of the Wagenstraat / Veerkade. On the 16th of June 1657, a patent gave him the right for 21 years to make pendulum clocks, according to the system invented by Christiaan Huygens. Many clockmakers were apprenticed or worked for Coster, like Pieter Visbagh, Christiaan Reijnaert, John Fromanteel and Nicolas Hanet. After his death, his widow Jannetje Harmans Hartloop took over the business (until 20-9-1660) probably assisted by John Fromanteel. A year later (1660) Pieter Visbagh bought the firm and rented the house which he bought in 1671.
Made the first pendulum clock for Christiaan Huygens (Huygens' invention of 1657).

Biography:
English instrument maker from eighteenth century. Moved to The Hague around 1768 after a court decision that granted Peter Dollond a patent on the achromatic doublet. Eastland himself continued to make telescopes, microscopes and binoculars. Many thought Eastland invented the achromatic telescope, although Eastland never claimed this invention. It is possible Eastland had worked in The Hague before, in 1764 an instrument maker named Wm. de la Haye sold mirrors, lenses and a microscope to the Fundatie van Renswoude in the Hague. It is quite possible that this was in fact William Eastland, who advertised under the name Wm Eastland. Eastland had several apprentices, who would never work under his own name, but under Wm. Eastland & Comp.

Biography:
Amsterdam-born instrument maker. His sons Hendrik, Abraham and Leonard were also instrument makers. During his career, he lived and worked in several places. In 1808 he started working as at the University of Harderwijk, but when the institute closed his doors, he left for Leeuwarden, where he was an ivory turner and made fire extinguishers. On July 1, 1826, he became supervisor of the cabinet of physical, mechanical and astronomical instruments at the University of Groningen and "amanuensis" (technical assistant) to professor Sjeerp (or Seerp) Brouwer. Around 1837 he made a device which he used in various experiments. During these experiments his son Hendrik and professor. S. Bleekrode (professor at the University of Delft since 1846) were also present. Deutgen made several others technical and physical instruments, often together with his son, such as thermometers, air pumps and steam devices.
