Anthony Leeuwenhoek and his discovery.

1. Man has an urge to find things out. He is a great discoverer whose curiosity to know is never satisfied. Here we shall follow one of the greatest explorations ever made by man - the difficult and dangerous voyage of discovery into the world of tiny life that exists around us, but of which we can see nothing unless we bring the micro- scope to our aid.

2. In 1632 a man was born whose eager curiosity was to give the first clue to the source of infectious diseases* He was Antho­ny Leeuwenhoeckj a Dutchman who began experimenting with lenses. He mounted them in little metal tubes in such a way that they would magnify objects as much as possible.

3. His patience was rewarded. He developed a microscope which could magnify things to one hundred times their natural size. He observed the world to tiny life which was very small and couldn't be seen by the naked eye or through an ordinary magnifying glass.

4. The great day came when he turned his attention to examin­ing a drop of water. To his greatest surprise he saw that the drop of water was a world of its own. The microscope showed that this clear drop of water was full of tiny little creatures that moved in their continuous activity. Leeuwenhoeck worked out a way of cal­culating just how many of them lived in a drop of water. The answer came to "more than two million seven hundred thousand of these crea­tures - more than the population of the whole of Holland” in those days.

5. Since the time Leeuwenhoeck made his first striking observa­tions, he had been writing letters to the Royal Society in London. The first drawings of germs ever made appeared in a letter he sent to the Royal Society in 1683. But that was only the beginning. He started putting everything he could think of under the lenses of his microscopes. Everywhere he found evidence of minute life that had been unsuspected before.

6. He had made many discoveries, but although he was very quick in mind, even up to his death at the age ninety-one, it never occurred to him that the parasites he had discovered might possibly have something to do with infectious disease.
