Answer 1

Van Leeuwenhoek: His Life

Anton Van Leeuwenhoek was born in 1632, in the Dutch city of Delft; his only formal education was some elementary school. Instead of becoming a tradesman like his father, his sense of curiosity, intellect, meticulous craftsmanship, and strong observatory skills led him in a different direction. During Leeuwenhoek's training as a linen merchant, he came across his first microscope, one used to look closely at fabrics. From that point on, he was hooked on the world of the unseen.

In 1654, Anton Van Leeuwenhoek opened his own linen shop. He was enormously successful and remained in the field for his entire life. As a successful businessman, he received several 'cushy' posts and served as the official wine taster for three different towns. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek died in 1723, at approximately 90 years of age; he was one of the most famous and highly regarded scientists of his day.

Refinement of the Microscope

Van Leeuwenhoek is probably best known for his refinement of the microscope. While your high school biology textbook may have identified him as the inventor of the instrument, Zacharias Jansen actually developed the first primitive microscope.

However, Van Leeuwenhoek was the first person to develop a lens of such superior quality. His technological contributions include increasing the magnification capacity of the microscope from 20x-30x to 270x. The way in which Van Leeuwenhoek put microscopes to work resulted in his greatest contributions to the body of scientific knowledge. While too numerous to list individually, let's take a look at some of his key discoveries.
