Antonii a Leeuwenhoek ... Epistolae physiologicae super compluribus naturae arcanis : ubi variorum animalium atque plantarum fabrica, conformatio, proprietates atque operationes, novis & hactenus inobservatis experimentis illustrantur & oculis exhibentur, item peculiares & hactenus incognitae rerum quarumdam qualitates explicantur : ut sequens pagina docet : hactenus numquam editae, cum figuris aeneis, et indice locupletissime
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek peers through his lenses to prove that life is not a product of decay, but a marvel of mechanical engineering. You will discover how a single drop of water or a sliver of muscle tissue reveals the same blueprint in a whale and a gnat.
