Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek was a Dutch scientist. He is considered the 'Father of Microbiology', because he was the one who perfected the microscope, being able to be the first one to observe single-celled organisms, such as spermatozoa and bacteria. The world knew about his work through the letters he wrote to the Royal Society.
