This scientist was Antonie van Leeuvenhoek at 9 October 1676 when he observe some microorganisms.
This prolific Dutch man studied many microorganisms, discovered cells, created microscopes and lenses etc.

No, Anton Van Leeuwenhoek called protozoan animalcules, which pond water is a type of protozoan
Paramecia are a group of unicellular ciliate protozoa also known as "slipper animalcules" from their slipper shape. See the link below for a photo.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to see actual living things in water well over 300 years ago, in 1674. He saw moving animalcules or 'little animals' that were the algae Spirogyra and probably would also have seen bacteria in the sample. A few years earlier in 1665 Robert Hooke had seen under a microscope non-living cell walls from studying slices of cork. This was a scientific achievement for the time, but he did not observe living things.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek , a dutch merchant, discovered the single celled organism.He was a microscope seller and he decided to take a look at pond scum. He saw that they were small animals.He named them animalcules which means small animal. Today we call animalcules single celled organisms. His name is Van Leeuwenhoek
Because he described the microbial organisms, for the first time, with the help of microscopic observations.
The question is who first saw the animalcules and the was Anton Van Leeuwenhoek.The question is who first saw and named animalcules and that person is the wonderful Anton Van Leeuwenhoek.

Anton van Leeuwenhoek
a man named kellen Baily
Yes. We can see atoms, cells, viruses, bacteria...
Antoni van Leeuwenhoek
yes, there are living organisms first known as animalcules.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek I think.
The animalcules that Leeuwenhoek saw were actually microorganisms. Van Leeuwenhoek called protozoa or bacteria he observed wee beasties and animalcules.

Antony van Leeuwenhoek. I loved his invention of the word 'animalcules', which unfortunately didn't catch on.
