=== Founding experiments === Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was not only a contributor to the invention of the microscope, he is also referred to as the "father of Microbiology". This is due to his significant contributions in the initial observation and documentation of [[unicellular organism]]s such as bacteria and spermatozoa, and microscopic human tissue such as muscle fibres and capillaries.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BBC - History - Historic Figures: Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632 - 1723) |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/van_leeuwenhoek_antonie.shtml#:~:text=In%201676,%20van%20Leeuwenhoek%20observed,able%20to%20confirm%20his%20discoveries. |access-date=2022-05-23 |website=www.bbc.co.uk |language=en-GB}}</ref>
