Antony Van Leeuwenhoek was born in the Netherlands in 1632, and he was a draper by trade. He took up micrscopy as a hobby, learning to grind lenses and turn them into a tool to see into tiny worlds. The simple microscopes he built were better than many of those of his contemporaries, producing images that were both more magnified and more clear. Part of the "Journey to the Microcosmos" series.
