This document outlines 4 areas of microbiology - bacteriology, parasitology, virology, and mycology. It also discusses microscopy, noting that microscopes are used to magnify and observe samples of bacteria. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek is described as the father of microscopy, inventing the first microscope and observing "beasties" in teeth scrapings and mud. Robert Hooke devised the compound microscope and observed samples of cork in plants and tree cells.
