to build things
Anton van Leeuwenhoek did not invent the microscope. The compound microscope was invented 40 years before Anton van Leeuwenhoek was born. The simple microscope was known 300 years earlier. Anton van Leeuwenhoek invented a method for making small spherical lenses that much increased the magnification of simple microscopes. The date is not know precisely, but around 1670, more than half a century after the discovery of the compound microscope, van Leeuwenhoek discovered a way to make small lenses of very high magnification that went significantly beyond the capability of existing microscopes. He advanced the design of the simple microscope. He used his inventions to make great discoveries into the world of microorganisms.
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek is considered the father of microscopy because of the advances he made in microscope design and use.
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
Anton van Leeuwenhoek invented methods for making small spherical lenses that much increased the magnification of simple (one lens) microscopes. The magnification of 250 times and possibly greater was ten times better than compound microscopes at the time. Beyond the initial discovery of the method for making small spherical lenses, van Leeuwenhoek built microscopes and experimented with their design and use. In the process, he made important new discoveries of microscopic life. Over a period of nearly 50 years, he made over 500 optical lenses (though they were used in an estimated 200 different microscopes) and can be said to have constructed at least 25 variations on the basic design of the microscope. Nine of his microscopes still exist.
Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek, more commonly known as Anton van Leeuwenhoek, was a Dutch scientist and tradesman. He is known for his discovery of microbiology.

Inoculation was officially invented in the year of 1683. It was invented by scientist Anton Van Leeuwenhoek who was from Germany.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek was born in Delft, Netherlands.
