the only reason i am wasting one of the two answers your post is allowed to get is because its been 3 hours and no one has answered yet.
Where do you go to school? I think it is very coincidental that you have the exact same question i do, and you had the question exactly when I got the question...about 3 hours ago. Now it IS a curriculum so its not that weird, but by any chance are you in K12? 8th grade?
The answer is different magnification lenses. Leeuwenhoek use a microscope with different magnification lenses which enabled him to see bacteria. <span>His microscope was able to achieve 50-300x magnification, which enabled him to see a variety of bacteria.</span>
I hope this helps with your work :)
