Dutch microbiologist & microscopist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek was born #OTD in 1632.

Using single-lensed microscopes of his own design and make, he was the 1st to observe & to experiment with microbes, which he originally referred to as dierkens, diertgens or diertjes.

He was also the first to document microscopic observations of muscle fibers, bacteria, spermatozoa, red blood cells, crystals in gouty tophi, & among the first to see blood flow in capillaries.
