Detailed explanation-1: -Leeuwenhoek is universally acknowledged as the father of microbiology. He discovered both protists and bacteria [1]. More than being the first to see this unimagined world of ‘animalcules’, he was the first even to think of looking-certainly, the first with the power to see.
Detailed explanation-2: -Two men are credited today with the discovery of microorganisms using primitive microscopes: Robert Hooke who described the fruiting structures of molds in 1665 and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek who is credited with the discovery of bacteria in 1676.
Detailed explanation-3: -Microbiology is the study of microorganisms and includes the fields of bacteriology, virology and mycology. Portrait of Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723) by Jan Verkolje. Van Leeuwenhoek was the first to describe a single-celled organism that he named an “animalcule”.
