Anthony van Leeuwenhoek Anthony van Leeuwenhoek is credited with discovering microorganisms There are many inventions and innovations spread around us that we may not know who has the credit for developing them or think about the necessity of their presence in our lives, including the microscope, whose invention is credited to Anthony van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch researcher and scientist, who succeeded in inventing a simplified version of it. Through it, he saw microorganisms in water droplets, becoming one of the first scientists to use lenses. Anthony van Leeuwenhoek modified into born on October 24, 1632 withinside the Netherlands, and died on August 26, 1723 at the age of 90. He began his career as a simple priest in Amsterdam, and began his working life as a humble clerk in a Dutch warehouse in Amsterdam. Most of his discoveries were related to the human body, and were made Through his skillful use of the microscope, and his precise and complex observations and observations. Leeuwenhoek did not learn the manufacture of lenses or the art of clearing glass, but he was able, by placing the lenses one on top of the other, to obtain an efficiency of vision that was not possible for any microscope used at that time. Among the lenses he made was one that was able to magnify objects 270 times, and there is evidence that he made lenses with the ability to magnify objects more than that. Leeuwenhoek was a patient, persistent man with strong observation, and with these lenses he was able to look at many materials, starting from... Man felt drops of blood, drops of water, insects, and skin and muscle tissue, and recorded all his observations with the utmost care. He also drew everything he saw under the microscope.
