What is the Greek word for microscope?

The Greek word for microscope is μικροσκόπιον (mikroskopion). It is derived from the Greek roots μικρός (mikros), meaning "small", and σκοπεῖν (skopein), meaning "to look at". The term "microscope" was first used in the 17th century by the Italian scientist Giovanni Faber to describe his invention, which allowed him to magnify objects by up to 30 times.
