The answer is the third one: Anton van Leeuwenhoek.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Robert Hooke: While Robert Hooke is known for his work with microscopes and for coining the term "cell" after observing cork under a microscope, he did not invent the microscope.

  2. Carolus Linnaeus: Linnaeus is known for developing the system of naming organisms (binomial nomenclature) and is not associated with the invention of the microscope.

  3. Anton van Leeuwenhoek: He is often credited with the development of the microscope and is known for his pioneering work in microscopy. He made significant improvements to the microscope and was the first to observe and describe single-celled organisms, which he called "animalcules."

  4. Charles Darwin: Darwin is famous for his theory of evolution by natural selection and did not have any involvement in the invention of the microscope.

In summary, Anton van Leeuwenhoek is the correct answer as he made significant contributions to the development and use of the microscope.

Unit Converstions A factor is a fraction or factor written so that the denominator and numerator are equivalent values with different units. One of the most useful conversion factors allows the user to convert from the imperial system to and vice versa. Since 1 inch is exactly the same length as 2.54 cm, the factor may be expressed as: These two lengths are identical so multiplication of a given length by the conversion factor will not change the length. It will simply express it in a different unit. Now if you wish to determine how many centimetres are in a yard, you have two things to consider. First, which of the two forms of the conversion factor will allow you to the imperial unit, converting it to a metric unit?
