Sucking some of the turbid liquid into a glass pipette and mounting it on his microscope, he saw that it was teeming with life: 'little green clouds' of algae, along with thousands of tiny, dancing creatures. 'The motion of most of these animalcules in the water was so swift, and so various upwards, downÂwards and round about that 'twas wonderful to see,' he wrote, 'and I judged that some of these little creatures were above a thousand times smaller than the smallest ones I have ever yet seen upon the rind of cheese.' They were protozoa -- the diverse group of organisms that includes amoebas and other single-celled eukaryotes. Leeuwenhoek had become the first person ever to see them. http://www.delanceyplace.com/view-archives.php?p=3317 _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
