		In 1668 van Leeuwenhoek paid his first and only visit to London, where he probably saw a copy of Robert Hooke's Micrographia (published 1665) which was in common circulation at the time, and which included pictures of textiles that would certainly have been of interest to the cloth merchant.
		Van Leeuwenhoek's letter announcing this discovery caused such doubt at the Royal Society that he had to enlist an English vicar, as well as jurists and doctors, to confirm that his report was based on true observations.
		The memorial and grave of the Anthony van Leeuwenhoek is in the tower wall of the Oude Kerk in Delft, on the side of the northern aisle.

		Van Leeuwenhoek traced the life histories of various animals, including the flea, ant, and weevil, refuting many popular misconceptions concerning their origin.
		However, van leeuwenhoek did not prove the cause-effect relationship between bacteria and diseases.
		It is argued that, in his appreciation of the wonder of microbes in the firmament of living organisms, Leeuwenhoek was closer to a true appreciation of their role in the conduct of a global ecology than much contemporary science.

		Leeuwenhoek, Antoni van (1632-1723), Dutch maker of microscopes, who made pioneering discoveries concerning protozoa, red blood cells, capillary systems, and the life cycles of insects.
		Leeuwenhoek opposed the prevalent theory of spontaneous generation and demonstrated that granary weevils, fleas, and mussels are not created from wheat grains and sand but develop from tiny eggs.
		Leeuwenhoek also observed plant and muscle tissue, and described three types of bacteria: bacilli, cocci, and spirilla.

	Leeuwenhoek and spermatozoa
		Leeuwenhoek resumed his own observations and in his own semenÑacquired, he stressed, not by sinfully defiling himself but as a natural consequence of conjugal coitus--observed a multitude of "animalcules," less than a millionth the size of a coarse grain of sand and with thin, undulating transparent tails (6).
		Leeuwenhoek indicated that the "body"Ñthat is, the head - of the spermatozoa he had drawn for the Royal Society was perhaps slightly thicker than the prominent vessels of the semen he had drawn, the smaller of which, however, were so small as to escape his sight.
		Leeuwenhoek also had earlier protested against a published report that attributed to him the idea that the semen was full of tiny infants, but his denial did not deal with what might lie within the spermatozoa.

		Van Leeuwenhoek also discovered parasitic protozoa, describing the flagellate Giardia in a sample of his feces, which also contained bacteria which can be identified as Spirochaeta.

		Leeuwenhoek was born on October 24, 1632, in Delft, Holland.
		Until this time, Leeuwenhoek had been operating in an informational vacuum; he read only Dutch and, consequently, was unable to learn from the published works of Hooke and Malpighi (though he often gleaned what he could from the illustrations within their texts).

		Antoni von Leeuwenhoek was the leading microscopist of the early modern period, not simply because of the superior quality of his microscopes, but also because of the significance and quantity of his observations.
		While most were following William Harvey in seeing a central role for the female egg, Leeuwenhoek claimed that 'it is exclusively the male semen that forms the foetus'.
		He also held a preformationist theory, namely that the form of the adult animal is in the sperm.
