Zacharias Janssen
Birth year but no certain date of birth. Zacharias is claimed to be the inventor of the telescope and the microscope. They think that Zacharias invented the microscope before the telescope at the year of 1590. Then he invented the telescope 18 years later that was in 1608. But besides being a good person and making differences in the world he also did illegal activity by counter fitting coins he received many warnings then eventually he went to jail from 1619-1621 -
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek
Antonie was one of the greatest biologist in all of history. He was born on the year 1632 but they don't know what day he was born.As I said before he was the one of the greatest biologists and one of the reasons was because Leeuwenhoek made more than 500 optical lenses and 25 different microscopes, of differing types but only nine survived to be used to this day. -
Robert Hooke
Robert was a very wealthy man but he deserved it because of his specialties in physics and chemistry. He studied in Oxford university. After so many years studding it paid off by him discovering the law of elasticity. Also another thing he did was coin the term cell for describing organisms. -
Carl Linnaeus
Carl made also very many contributions to many subjects such as Botany,Biology and Zoology. He helped future research of man by describing humans just as he described any other plant or animal. One of the reasons Carl made so many contributions was cause he made many expeditions and learnt different things from different people that were very far away. -
