Anton van Leeuwenhoek, at age 16, first saw cloth through a microscope.
He was an apprentice to a merchant who sold cloth and the merchants used microscopes to inspect the threading and weave.
Six years later, he acquired a shop of his own and, of course, a microscope of his own for the purpose of looking at cloth. At some point, his interests went beyond his business and he learned to polish glass and make his own lenses. About 1670 he discovered a way to make very small spherical lenses. This allowed much greater magnification, up to 250 times. (Some people think that he evnetually made lenses with magnifications almost twice that.)
After discovering the technique (which he kept secret) he saw many fantastic things, including microorganisms in water.
The first thing he officially described in a letter to the Royal Society of London were his observations and drawings of the parts of a bee.
Later, he described microorganisms in water.

Robert Hook was first to look through a microscope to observe slices of cork. He described these as "boxes", later came to know as "cells".
The term microscope technically applies to any magnifying arrangement of lenses, one or many. Single lens magnification has been known since about 1000 AD and no inventor is recorded by history. Around 1590, several individuals compete for recognition as the inventor of the compound microscope which is a microscope using two or more lenses. See the link below to the related question, "Who invented the microscope?" About 1670, Anton van Leeuwenhoek dramatically increased the magnifying power of the simple microscope.
You use a microscope to look at a cell.
the people wouldnt have a way 2 look at small things without anton van leeuwenhoeks lenses and his descovery

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is credited with discovering the first single-celled organisms in the 17th century using microscopes he had developed. He observed and described various microorganisms, which he called "animalcules," including bacteria and protozoa.

No, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek did not see organ systems. He is known for pioneering the field of microbiology and discovering microorganisms such as bacteria and protists through his development of the microscope. Organ systems are composed of multiple organs working together, which are too large to be observed using the microscopes Leeuwenhoek created.
The compound microscope was invented 40 years before Anton van Leeuwenhoek was born. He employed a simple microscope with lenses he invented around 1670. Anton van Leeuwenhoek invented a method for making small spherical lenses that much increased magnification of microscopes.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch scientist, is credited with being the first person to observe and describe microbial life through a microscope in the 17th century. His discoveries marked the beginning of the field of microbiology.
The first microscope to be developed was the optical microscope, although the original inventor is not easy to identify. Two eyeglass makers are variously given credit: Hans Lippershey (who developed an early telescope) and Zacharias Janssen
Anton van Leeuwenhoek , a dutch merchant, discovered the single celled organism.He was a microscope seller and he decided to take a look at pond scum. He saw that they were small animals.He named them animalcules which means small animal. Today we call animalcules single celled organisms. His name is Van Leeuwenhoek
Anton van Leeuwenhoek was a Dutch scientist who lived in the 17th century. He is often depicted as having a long beard and wearing traditional clothing of that era, such as a jacket and hat. However, there are no known authentic portraits of him, so the exact details of his appearance remain unknown.
Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723)was the amerteur microscopist of Delft, The Netherlands. He was the first person to publish exetensive, accurate observations of microorganisms. He earned his living as a draper and haberdasher, but spent much of his spare time constructing simple microscopes composed of double convex lenses held between two silver plates. His microscope could magnify around 50 to 300 times.
