In this conference we will take a close look at
Leeuwenhoek’s seventeenth- and eighteenth-century microscopic practices as well
as the development of the field of microscopy from his death to the
twenty-first century. We will show how Leeuwenhoek was working as part of a
large European network of scientists exploring the natural world with
microscopes.The papers in this conference will make clear that microscopic
practices and the way in which scientists communicated their findings to each
other started in Leeuwenhoek’s time and are still used today.
