Historical Aspects

The early history of microbiology. Historians are unsure who made the first observations of microorganisms, but the microscope was available during the mid‐1600s. 

History of Microbiology Microbiology was born in 1674 when Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (1632 – 1723), a Dutch drapery merchant, peered at a drop of lake water through a carefully ground glass lens. Through this, he beheld the first glimpse of the microbial world.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek is probably best known for his discovery of microorganisms in 1675. Anton van Leeuwenhoek was coined “The Father of Microbiology” because he observed the first motile microscopic lifeforms - he called them “animalcules” in a drop of water.

Timeline 1665-Robert Hooke This is the year Hooke reported after observing a thin slice of cork through a crude microscope that life's smallest structural units were "cells". This discovery marked the beginning of the cell theory (all living things are composed of cells).

Within the history of microbiology, four periods can be distinguished: the first merely speculative, extending from antiquity to the invention of the first microscopes, the second period comprised by the first microscopists between 1675 and the mid-nineteenth century, the Third Period where microorganisms are grown between the middle and late nineteenth century, and the fourth stage, which runs from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present.

The way microbiology field has evolved till now it's been have drastically changed in a advanced manner. Many advanced techniques have been developed to be effective and involved in research area which can further in human well being . 

Further more scientist are into research work :

The field of microbiology has a pioneer history of serving the society and science which still left with searching of enormous work and beliefs .
