Anton van Leeuwenhoek's 560 letters are now preserved in various institutions, including the National Museum of Antiquities in the Netherlands and the Royal Society in London. Some of the letters are also held in private collections or have been lost over time.
Dutch tradesman and scientist, Antoine Philips Van Leeuwenhoek is considered by many to be the Father of Microbiology, and the first scientist to ever see a unicellular life form through a microscope. His discoveries helped develop the microscope and lay the foundations for the modern science of microbiology.
When Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek first saw them he called them animalcules, but we now call them microorganisms.
Leeuwenhoek used the lenses to see the microscopic world (i. e. Microbiology) whereas Galileo used lenses to observe the stars and planets ( i. e. in Astronomy).
Animalcules were identified by the Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in the late 17th century. He used a microscope he designed to observe tiny organisms in water, which he referred to as "animalcules," meaning "little animals." These microscopic entities are now understood to encompass a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria and protozoa. Van Leeuwenhoek's discoveries were foundational in the field of microbiology.

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math now? Okay, okay, let's see... 560 as a fraction is 560/1 because any whole number can be written as that number over 1. So, like, 560 as a fraction is just 560. Boom, math wizard right here.
exactly 560
