- Chapter 1:
De microscopiis simplicibus, unica lente constantibus
- Chapter 2:
De microscopiis simplicibus duabus pluribusve lentibus convexis inter se
proxime junctis constantibus

De microscopiis simplicibus ab omni confusione immunibus
- Section II:
De microscopiis compositis, in quibus unica imago realis occurit (not subdivided into chapters)
- Section III: De microscopiis compositis, in quibus unica imago
realis occurrit: quo omnia microscopia hucusque usitata sunt referenda
- Chapter 1:
De microscopiis simplicibus hujus generis
- Chapter 2:
De ulteriori horum microscopiorum perfectione,
dum iis major claritatis gradus plures lentes loco objectivae substituendo comparatur
- Chapter 3:
De summa horum microscopiorum perfectione, dum ope lentium ex alia vitri specie confectarum
omnis confusio ad nihilum redigitur
- Chapter 4:
De ulteriori amplificatione campi huic microscopiorum generi conciliandi
- Section IV: de microscopiis compositis, in quibus duae imagines reales occurrunt
- Chapter 1:
De microscopiis simplicioribus hujus generis
- Chapter 2:
De microscopiis hujus generis magis compositis
- Chapter 3:
De microscopiorum hujus generis summa perfectione, dum ea ab omni confusione liberantur
