Answer:
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
Explanation:
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek ( 24 October 1632 – 26 August 1723 ) was a Dutch textile merchant (haberdasher) turned into a scientist who, almost single-handily laid the foundations for the development of bacteriology and protozoology and microbiology in general. His work was one of the critical events that led to the final refutation of the spontaneous generation hypothesis.
In his later life, during his 40s, Antonie would become the first person to describe single-celled organisms. Although we call them bacteria today he coined the term 'animalcule' for these new fascinating critters.
His work would forever earn Antonie the title of the "Father of Microbiology". He did all this without any formal education and by using his own hand-built single-lensed microscopes.
It would take another 200 years before Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch would later make the link between some diseases and microscopic organisms like bacteria. Antonie's term "animalcule" would later be replaced with the modern term bacterium in 1838.\
