The first scientists who found bacteria on everything through a microscope must have freaked out, amirite?

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, late 1600s.
He's attributed the first to see microbes. He called them "little animals"...only in Dutch.
Of course, microbes were theorized long before, but this guy cobbled some lenses together and saw them.
