Georges Oberhaeuser (1798-1868) is credited with the development of the "Continental" style microscope, which, by the end of the 19th century, became the standard model that was produced by most manufacturers. This model evolved from Oberhaeuser 's drum type microscopes, an example of which is shown on this page.
