The correct answers are C (the telescope) and D (the microscope).
Angelo Barovier was an Italian glassmaker who perfected the manufacture of clear, colorless glass. His advancements in glass production allowed for the creation of lenses that improved the design and functionality of telescopes and microscopes, leading to significant developments in the fields of astronomy and biology. The clarity of the glass made it possible to study distant stars and tiny organisms with much greater precision.
