In 1670, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek used a microscope to describe cells in a drop of pond water. He made his own fine quality lens for use in monocular microscopes, and he was the first person to observe bacteria and protozoa. Some of his lenses could magnify objects up to 250X.

Relate advances in microscope technology to discoveries about cells and cell structure?
Cell theory is the idea that cells are the basic unit of structure in every living thing. Development of this theory during the mid 17th century was made possible by advances in microscopy. The 1st man to witness a live cell under a microscope was Anton van Leeuwenhoek who in 1674 described the algae Spirogyra and named the moving organisms animalcules, meaning "little animals". Leeuwenhoek probably also saw bacteria. The observations of Leeuwenhoek & others led to the development of cell theory
