Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is the somewhat improbable father of microbiology. A moderately educated owner of a textile business, he learned how to make his own unique microscopes which offered unparallelled magnification. Using these microscopes he made a number of crucially important scientific discoveries, including single-celled animals and plants, bacteria, and spermatozoa.

The first thing the “Father of Microbiology,” Anton van Leeuwenhoek, put under a microscope was his semen. In 1677 van Leeuwenhoek examined fresh semen, in which he observed living spermatozoa. It was understood that semen was integral to the creation of life, but the concept of single-cell organisms hadn’t been discovered yet. He expected to see tiny little humans.
