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.
