Antonie van Leeuwenhoek: "Jenis makhluk ke-4 ... yang bergerak melalui...

"Jenis makhluk ke-4 ... yang bergerak melalui 3 jenis sebelumnya, sangat kecil, dan sangat kecil di mata saya sehingga saya menilai, bahwa jika 100 dari mereka berbaring [membentangkan] satu sama lain, mereka tidak akan sama dengan panjangnya. tentu saja Pasir; dan menurut perkiraan ini, sepuluh ratus ribu dari mereka tidak bisa menyamai dimensi sebutir pasir seperti itu. Saya menemukan ada jenis kelima, yang mendekati ketebalan yang pertama, tetapi mereka hampir dua kali lebih panjang. Bakteri pertama kali diamati."

--- Antonie van Leeuwenhoek

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The 4th sort of creatures... which moved through the 3 former sorts, were incredibly small, and so small in my eye that I judged, that if 100 of them lay [stretched out] one by another, they would not equal the length of a grain of course Sand; and according to this estimate, ten hundred thousand of them could not equal the dimensions of a grain of such course Sand. There was discover'd by me a fifth sort, which had near the thickness of the former, but they were almost twice as long. The first time bacteria were observed.
