Abstract
The microworld was revealed to investigators through a glass bead or a hanging water droplet long before optics was understood. The cellular structure of plants was well resolved by such simple magnifying glasses, van Leeuwenhoek, the Dutch merchant and amateur microscopist, was the first to report to the English Royal Society his observations of bacteria with his single-lens microscope in 1665.
