Leeuwenhoek just like Galileo made major discoveries using newly invented tools. Both discoveries changed a lot of what people believed to be true then, that is one of the reasons why their discoveries were so big. When Leeuwenhoek learned how to grind lenses to put in his hand crafted microscope he used it to observe smaller organisms. Leeuwenhoek used information from other scientists such as Robert Hooke who wrote a book to further his observations and microscopes. The process of the making of lenses to me personally seems complicated, It started out by, “placing the middle of a small rod of soda lime glass in a hot flame, van Leeuwenhoek could pull the hot section apart like taffy to create two long whiskers of glass.
