The discovery of cells and their structure is linked to the development of microscopes‚ which allowed scientists to observe microscopic cells. In the mid 1600s‚ in the Netherlands‚ the scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek developed the first known microscope using a single magnifying lens. He is described as the first microbiologist because he was the first to observe microscopic cells that we now know to be bacteria and blood cells. Van Leeuwenhoek shared the designs of his microscope‚ as well as his
