Joseph Jackson Lister (1786–1869) was a British optician and inventor, known primarily for his contributions to the development of optical instruments. He is best known for his work on improving the quality of microscopes, which significantly advanced the field of microscopy. Lister invented the "achromatic microscope," which utilized a combination of lenses to reduce chromatic aberration—a common optical problem that leads to blurry images due to different colors being focused at different points.
