Printing Press Jacob’s Rod Microscope. Newspapers
Thermoscope. Dry Docks. Astrolabe
Remarkable Results in Change Revealing Remembered Resonant

20. Thermoscope
Learning aims:
-To be able to give a brief overview of new ideas during the Renaissance.
One great inventor of the time was Galileo Galilei . This
scientist made contributions to astronomy, physics and
other sciences.
He was credited with creating the first thermoscope, an
apparatus that could differentiate changes in temperature
from cold to hot, however he was unable to indicate the
actual temperature.
Afterwards, Galileo’s students at the Cement Academy,
created the first thermometer and named it after their
teacher.

21. Microscope
Learning aims:
-To be able to give a brief overview of new ideas during the Renaissance.
In 1590, Zacharias Janssen invented the microscope. This also
led to the discovery of the telescope later on. He was a lens
manufacturer.
It is said he invented it with the help of his father. His
microscope consisted of 9 magnifications and Janssen
designed it for use by people with serious vision problems.
This allowed people to study plants more effectively and gain
a better understanding of the human body.

22. Rod of Jacob
Learning aims:
-To be able to give a brief overview of new ideas during the Renaissance.
In astronomy, the rod of Jacob or ballastella is an
instrument that allows to measure the height and angles of
different items, such as celestial bodies. It is thought to
have been devised by Levi ben Gerson or Jacob ben Makir.
During the Renaissance, this instrument played an
important role in the development of astronomy.
The Dutch astronomer Metius (Adriaan Adriaanszoon)
used it to measure the position of the stars. The ballastella
was improved by the German mathematician Gemma
Frisius. It was used for around 200 years, but thanks to the
appearance of other instruments, the Jacob's rod became
obsolete.

23. Dry Docks
Learning aims:
-To be able to give a brief overview of new ideas during the Renaissance.
One big step for navigation was the construction
of the first dry dock by Henry VII in 1495. A dry
dock is a port facility where boats are pulled out
of the water to be built or repaired.
Although this technology was not invented by
the English, since it was copied from the ancient
Greeks, these were the first to put it into
practice after centuries of absence.
These allowed the British to have the most and
best ships in the World for more than 400 years.
Up to 1935, more boats were produced in
Britain than any other country in the World.

24. Compass
Learning aims:
-To be able to give a brief overview of new ideas during the Renaissance.
One of the reasons Europeans made so many
discoveries was their getting the compass from
China. It arrives in Europe at the time of the
Renaissance.
The Chinese and the Arabs used it to find their
locations. At first, the magnetized needles floated in
water and showed the north, but over time this
invention was improved and the "dry compass“
developed. It revolutionized European sailing.
The first mention in Chinese historical sources of the
compass dates back to 1086. It only got to Europe
because of the increase in the number of books .

25. Arquebus
Learning aims:
-To be able to give a brief overview of new ideas during the Renaissance.
At the end of century XIV the arquebus was invented. It
is not known for sure whether it was invented in Spain
or Germany,. It was being used by the 1420s.
At the end of the 1400s, the arquebus was a compulsory
part of any European army. It was a staple part of all
armies for around 200 years, when it was replaced by
the musket.
It was a very heavy weapon and it was necessary to
support it in a fork which made difficult the mobility of
the troops.

26. Pocket Watch
Learning aims:
-To be able to give a brief overview of new ideas during the Renaissance.
During the Renaissance period, man took over time. Although
the clock already existed, by the fifteenth century, clocks were
appearing in the main towers of many European cities.
In addition, the clock began to mark minutes and seconds, and
became smaller, and so the pocket watch was invented.
Clockwork developed rapidly at this time.
The pocket watch was invented in France, made possible by
the inclusion of the spring in its mechanism. By the sixteenth
century, pocket watches were no longer rare and their price
declined considerably as lots were produced.
The most famous pocket watches of the time were called
Nuremberg eggs, which were invented by the German Peter
Henlein .

27. Springs
Learning aims:
-To be able to give a brief overview of new ideas during the Renaissance.
The pocket watch might not have been possible without
the creation of the spring. The first springs appeared in
the 1400s and their development is closely linked to the
watch industry.
Although engineers already used the spring, it was not
until 1676 when Robert Hooke explained that the force
of a spring is proportional to its extension. This helped it
to become an important part of many mechanisms of
the time, and is still used today.

28. Astrolabe
Learning aims:
-To be able to give a brief overview of new ideas during the Renaissance.
Ship navigation at the time was strengthened thanks to
the use of the astrolabe, which uses stars to report
positions. Although it is not known with certainty who
invented it, it is attributed to the astronomer
Mallorquín Ramón Llull.
It was not until the time of the Renaissance that the use
of this invention was described by the Spanish Martín
Cortés de Albacar in 1551 in his book Art of Surfing.
Also in the Age of Discovery, this was used by Vasco de
Gama, Bartholomew Diaz and other sailors, many of
whom were the first Europeans to reach and report
back the existence of many different places.
