Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) discovered bacteria, free-living and parasitic microscopic protists, sperm cells, blood cells, microscopic nematodes and rotifers, and much more with the microscopes he made. He referred to these organisms as animalcules. His research, which was widely circulated, opened up an entire world of microscopic life to the awareness of scientists.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek discovered cells in a microscope.
Van Leeuwenhoek's main discoveries are:
* the infusoria (protists in modern zoological classification), in 1674
* the bacteria, (e.g. large Selenomonads from the human mouth), in 1676
* the spermatozoa in 1677. Van Leeuwenhoek had troubles with Dutch theologists about his practice.
* the banded pattern of muscular fibers, in 1682.

A microscope is used to view minute organisms.

A light microscope, specifically a compound microscope, is commonly used to view Staphylococcus aureus. This type of microscope uses visible light and multiple lenses to magnify and visualize the bacteria at a cellular level. Staining techniques can also be applied to enhance contrast and aid in identification.
The optical microscope was invented to view objects too small for the naked eye. This invention greatly advanced cellular study.

A light microscope allows scientists to view cells, tissues, and microorganisms at the cellular and subcellular level. This tool enables researchers to observe biological structures and processes in detail, aiding in their study of living organisms.

The first scientist to view cells under a microscope was Robert Hooke, an English scientist, who observed cork cells in 1665. His observations marked the beginning of the cell theory in biology.
A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) or an atomic force microscope (AFM) can be used to view single atoms. These instruments use a fine probe to scan the surface of a sample and create images with atomic resolution.
An electron microscope is typically used to view organelles, as it provides a higher resolution and can visualize smaller structures compared to a light microscope. Transmission electron microscopes (TEM) are often used to view organelles at high magnifications.
The instrument used is a microscope. This has a number of lens, for instance, you can choose to magnify the cell or whatever it is x4/x10/x40. Hope this helps :)
