WHY IT’S INTERESTING
Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek (1635-1723) was a Dutch tradesman who became interested in microscopy while on a visit to London in 1666. Returning home, he began making simple microscopes of the sort that Robert Hooke had described in his Micrographia , and using them to discover objects invisible to the naked eye.
