Short Answer:
Anton van Leeuwenhoek made innovations to the simple microscope with a single lens. His microscopes received no special name and were enhancements of the "simple microscope."
Anton van Leeuwenhoek always referred to his instrument as a Vergroot-glas, which translates into magnifying glass.
He also enhanced the overall design of the simple microscope and specimen holder. He constructed at least 25 different designs of the simple microscope. (He rarely used the compound microscope which had been invented 40 years before his birth because his simple microscopes had far greater magnification.)

Anton van Leeuwenhoek, (October 24, 1632 -- August 26, 1723) is known as "the Father of Microbiology". He was from Delft, the Netherlands. He was not trained in science, but was a tradesman who first employed a microscope to view fine cloth.
The date is not know precisely, but around 1670, van Leeuwenhoek discovered a way to make small spherical lenses of very high magnification that went significantly beyond the capability of existing microscopes.
He is considered to be the first microbiologist because of his scientific discoveries made possible by his enhanced microscopes. He was the first person to observe and describe single celled organisms. He was a contemporary of Robert Hook and the two men share some credit for establishing that living things were made of cells.
Beyond the discovery of the methods for making small spherical lenses, van Leeuwenhoek also built microscopes and experimented with their design, addressing the difficult problems of illuminating, holding and viewing the specimens.
He made over 500 optical lenses, though they did not necessarily go into 500 different microscopes. The microscopes themselves were expensive and time consuming to construct, but records indicate possibly as many as two hundred were made. In this process he is said to have created at least 25 variations on the basic design of the microscope.
Only nine of his microscopes are known to exist today.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek was a Dutch tradesman and scientist. He was best known for his work on the development and improvement of the compound microscope, and also for his subsequent contribution towards microbiology.
Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek (October 24, 1632 - August 30, 1723) created over 400 different types of microscopes. There are only nine still in existence today.
His microscopes were made of silver or copper metal frames holding "hand-ground" lenses (See aside). Existing examples can magnify up to 275 times. It is thought that some of Van Leeuwenhoek microscopes could magnify up to 500 times.

Aside: van Leeuwenhoek developed an easy way to make lenses for his microscopes but had to pretend that he spent hours of painful labour grinding them so that he could keep his prices high.
Single Lens. Also the Simple Lens.

The answer is that over the many years they have discovered clearer more zooming things.
It was Anton Van Leewenhoek.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek was a Dutch scientist who made major contributions in the field of microbiology and in the advancement of the compound microscope. He is also referred to as the "Father of Microbiology." He was born in 1632 and died in 1723.

Antonie Van Leewenhoek first observed cells inside living animals with his microscope.
Microscope
He invented the microscope
no he did not Robert hooke did

He saw that all living things have cells.
In 1670, Antony van Leewenhoek first invented the single lens microscope. He discovered bacteria, bellanimacules, and spermatoza.

the dutch guy....antonie van lauvenhook or something. i dont remember how to spell it.
Anton Von Leewenhoek is the first one who found a "living cell"
