On Wednesday I found it interesting that in the museum exhibit they had displayed two of Leeuwenhoek's microscopes. This mainly surprised me since there are only nine microscopes of known origin. Plus it's surprising how small they were. Even though I knew they had small lenses, I didn't think the actual microscope would be as small as it was.
I was also very surprised at how small they were! It is crazy to think that he could have done all of the pioneering research off of something that small and supposedly hard to use. It makes me appreciate the machinery we have to use today for research.
