Antonie van Leeuwenhoek father of microbiology

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a 17th-century cloth merchant, is the father of microbiology. He discovered protists and bacteria using his own single-lens microscopes, which hit 270x magnification through a secret glass-grinding technique. He mounted the lenses between brass or silver plates with screw mechanisms, plus made mounting pins for solids and capillary tubes for liquids.
