Explanation:

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is known for using a simple light microscope. A simple light microscope has a single lens. He used it to observe microorganisms. The compound light microscope has multiple lenses (objective and eyepiece lenses) and was developed later. Electron microscopes use electrons instead of light and were invented in the 20th century. Fluorescence microscopes are used to observe fluorescently - labeled specimens and also came after van Leeuwenhoek's time.
