Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, born on this day in 1632, is widely considered to have discovered microbial life, including bacteria, using the microscopes he invented. 🦠 When he was finally convinced to study semen, he at first believed the sperm cells he found there to be tiny animals, just as he had found in water.
