This is the new millennium where everything is ready by touch of a hand, now machines operate without people operating them at the site; surgeries are being done without patient and doctor contact, digital imaging, touch screen phones, and all the new technologies that have made life easier. Even microscope have evolved in the past years, making it more convenient not only in usage but also affordable in price for the users. Before microscopes are only used for viewing very small objects or specimens, now you can take a picture or make a video clip of your specimen under it. Microscopes are very useful in the fields of medical sciences; they are the one of the most vital instruments that is being used in scientific investigation and inquiries. Most of the biggest and eye opening discoveries of the last centuries are owed to the making of the microscope. Without the microscope or what we currently known as medical microscopes we wouldn’t have discovered the virus, nematodes, protozoa, algae, bacteria and most importantly the cells because it is the most fundamental part of our body. The discovery of these microorganisms can be attributed to the late Anton van Leeuwenhoek, the father of microbiology, who is well known for his contribution for the making of the microscope and its refinement of lenses.
Leeuwenhoek first discovered that microorganisms existed because he used to work as an apprentice in a textile merchant, where he would count the threads in each cloth to inspect its quality, and then he was enthused by the glasses that are being used to inspect the fibers. He made a modification of the microscopes, which greatly made a difference in biology but mostly in microbiology. Microbiology was made solely to study the microorganism that Anton van Leeuwenhoek discovered centuries ago, the bacteria he first saw from the pond water, yeast plants and many others, which he documented and sent his writings to the Royal Society of England and the
