This exquisitely detailed reproduction is inspired by the pioneering work of Dutch cloth merchant and scientist, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, who in the 17th century became the founder of microbiology through his discoveries of microorganisms such as bacteria.
How could a cloth merchant create such an innovative instrument? That question is part of the fascinating history of the research into microorganisms, and it is a story that we are proud to honor with this replica. Every aspect of the design has been carefully crafted to match the original, from the brass construction to the tiny lenses that magnify objects up to 83 times.
This Antoni van Leeuwenhoek microscope replica is a testament to the ingenuity and scientific curiosity of one of the most important figures in the history of microbiology. Display it proudly in your home or office as a tribute to the remarkable legacy of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek and his contributions to the field of scientific discovery.
