<span>Anton van Leeuwenhoek learned to grind lenses ( 1668) and develop simple microscopes.

</span>

Leeuwenhoek heated the middle of a small soda glass rod , over a flame. On pulling apart the two ends, the glass rod elongated into thin whiskers . 
Heating the end of this whisker resulted in a tiny high quality glass sphere. These glass spheres then became the lens of his microscope, with the smallest sphere providing the greatest magnification.

Leeuwenhoek's designs were very basic. The body of the microscope was a single lens mounted in a tiny hole on a brass plate. The specimen was then mounted on a sharp point that sticks up in front of the lens. It's position and focus could be adjusted by turning the two screws.

The entire instrument was about 3 to 4 inches long and had to be held up close to the eye, requiring good lighting and great patience to use.

Which statements correctly explain why biological productivity in the tropical ocean is so meager when compared to biological pr
Anni [7]
<span>The answer to this question would be: 
- The permanent thermocline presents a barrier that keeps nutrients in deeper water from mixing with surface waters.
- The sunlight penetrates deep into the tropical ocean, warming the surface waters and creating stratification of water masses.

In tropical lands, the area is getting sunlight all around the year. This will cause the plant to be able to do photosynthesis all around the year too. Sunlight can penetrate the ocean, but the intensity will be much lower in deeper part. The ocean also become warmer but it will become cold in the deeper part too. </span>
