	Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (www.whonamedit.com)
		Leeuwenhoek's research on the life histories of various low forms of animals were in opposition to the doctrine that they could be produced spontaneously or bred from corruption.
		Leeuwenhoek was particularly attentive to the blood vessels and the blood.
		Leeuwenhoek also carefully studied the history of the ant and was the first to show that what had been reputed to be ants' eggs, were really their pupae, containing the perfect insect nearly ready for emergence, and that the true eggs were much smaller and gave origin to maggots, or larvae.

	Astrology of Anton von Leeuwenhoek with horoscope chart, quotes, biography, and images
		Leeuwenhoek's interest in microscopes and a familiarity with glass processing led to one of the most significant, and simultaneously well-hidden, technical insights in the history of science.
		With regards to the construction of his microscopes, however, Leeuwenhoek maintained throughout his life that there were aspects of their construction "which I only keep for myself," including in particular his most critical secret of how he created lenses.
		Van Leeuwenhoek's discoveries did overturn the traditional belief of the time in the spontaneous generation of life.[citation needed] This belief or theory was generally held by the 17th century scientific community, and was also tacitly endorsed by the 17th century Church.

	Microbiology History
		Leeuwenhoek was born in Delft on October 24, 1632.
		Leeuwenhoek is known to have made over 500 "microscopes," of which fewer than ten have survived to the present day.
		Leeuwenhoek's skill at grinding lenses, together with his naturally acute eyesight and great care in adjusting the lighting where he worked, enabled him to build microscopes that magnified over 200 times, with clearer and brighter images than any of his colleagues could achieve.

		Using his handcrafted microscope he was the first to observe and describe muscles fibres, bacteria, spermatozoa and blood flow in capillaries (small blood vessels).
		Unfortunately, he only spoke Dutch and the scientific language of the time was Latin.
		Van Leeuwenhoek also appeared on an unused design for a 10 Guilder note done by M.C. Escher in 1951.

		Leeuwenhoek did not invent the microscope (compound magnifying lenses were known 40 years before he was born), but he took it to new levels of power.
		As Leeuwenhoek’s observations were found to be true and accurate, his reputation grew, and by 1680 this untrained layman was elected a fellow of the Royal Society.
		Leeuwenhoek investigated almost anything and everything that could be held up to his lens, exemplifying technical skill, persistence, curiosity, insight and penchant for accuracy that would become a model for others working in experimental biology.
