Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

While we do know that A. Leeuwenhoek used a simple microscope that consisted of only 1 lens, Hooke used a compound microscope. Although, after trying a compound microscope, Hooke found out that it strained his eyes and continued to use a simple microscope for his Micrographia.

Thus, we can say that the (compound) microscopes used today are different than the (simple) microscope used by Hooke and Leeuwenhoek.
