  • Antonie van Leeuwenhoek first discovered microbial life in the 1600s using a simple, single lens microscope that he made himself. This video gives instructions to build your own working Leeuwenhoek microscope, including the actual lens itself, using simple materials you likely have around the house. This exercise is great for teaching and teachers.
    Additional instructions and downstream activities are available on the Keeling Lab web page: www3.botany.ubc.ca/keeling/mic...

    I feel like the phrase "O Ye of Little Faith!" fits me here, I like how this is simple and still used, but I admit that I'm having a hard time believing that it would actually allow you to see bacteria. I mean, I'm sure that you can't see all types of microorganisms, but I'm curious. I'll have to try this out and I do believe you! Its just personal curiosity, but for example would you be able to examine a sample of blood with it? And what about using a glass stir rod instead? The end result might be a bit bigger, but I'd imagine it would still work right? Thank you for posting and making this video!

      if i remember correctly from high school, the reason a van leuuwenhoek microscope has such high magnification is because the curve of the lens is so sharp from how small a sphere it is, and the process shown here would make a *very* small sphere i think (except compared to things on the scale of what you look at with it)
