Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (October 24, 1632 -- August 26, 1723) was born in Delft, a city in the province of South Holland in the Netherlands. He also died in Delft. Except for the six years he spent in Amsterdam as an apprentice, he spent his entire life in Delft.
good question. Cells are named by ... well 2 main people anyway Robert Hooke and Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) discovered bacteria, free-living and parasitic microscopic protists, sperm cells, blood cells, microscopic nematodes and rotifers, and much more with the microscopes he made. He referred to these organisms as animalcules. His research, which was widely circulated, opened up an entire world of microscopic life to the awareness of scientists.
Martin Van Buren, he grew up speaking Dutch.
The father of microscopy, Anton Van Leeuwenhoek of Holland (1632-1723), started as an apprentice in a dry goods store where magnifying glasses were used to count the threads in cloth. Anton van Leeuwenhoek was inspired by the glasses used by drapers to inspect the quality of cloth. He taught himself new methods for grinding and polishing tiny lenses of great curvature which gave magnifications up to 270x diameters, the finest known at that time. These lenses led to the building of Anton Van Leeuwenhoek's microscopes considered the first practical microscopes, and the biological discoveries for which he is famous. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek was the first to see and describe bacteria (1674), yeast plants, the teeming life in a drop of water, and the circulation of blood corpuscles in capillaries. During a long life he used his lenses to make pioneer studies on an extraordinary variety of things, both living and non-living, and reported his findings in over a hundred letters to the Royal Society of England and the French Academy.
Antony Van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch scientist, became the first man to make and use a real microscope. He made superior lenses, by grinding and polishing a small glass ball into a lens with a magnification of 270x.
Martin Van Buren
The rotifers make up a phylum of microscopic and near-microscopic pseudocoelomate animals. They were first described by Rev. John Harris in 1696, and other forms were described by Anton van Leeuwenhoek in 1703.
Martin Van Buren was born in the village of Kinderhook, New York.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek made a simple microscope that could magnify up to 270 times.
Many different scientists were involves in the discovery of the cell and how all organisms are made up of different cells.
He discovered red blood cells and found out that they were circulating and he invented a version of the microscope that was some-what improved from the first version. Especially because his lenses went all the way up to 270x. He also was the first person to discover and write about bacteria and animal cells
