Early drawing of muscle by Leewenhoek
Drawing of muscle made by Anton van Leewenhoek (1632- 1723), a Dutch biologist & microscopist. The drawing was based on observations made with the microscope. It shows (55) a muscle teased into bundles of fibres, (56) a single fibre bundle & (56A) a highly magnified view of a single fibre showing the striations

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an early drawing of muscle by the renowned Dutch biologist and microscopist, Anton van Leewenhoek. Dating back to the 17th century, this historical image provides a panoramic glimpse into the intricate world of muscular anatomy. Leewenhoek's meticulous observations made with his microscope served as the foundation for this remarkable artwork. The drawing reveals a fascinating composition: first, we see a muscle expertly teased into bundles of fibres, highlighting their interconnectedness and strength. Moving closer, our attention is drawn to a single fibre bundle, emphasizing its role in supporting movement and maintaining bodily functions. The true marvel lies in the highly magnified view captured within 56A - an intimate portrayal of a single fibre exhibiting striations. These delicate lines reveal the structural intricacies that contribute to muscle contraction and power generation within our bodies. As we delve into this mesmerizing historical image, it serves as both an educational tool and artistic masterpiece. It offers us insight into Leewenhoek's pioneering work in understanding human physiology through microscopic exploration. This print from Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate not only the beauty found within our own musculature but also pays homage to one of history's most influential microscopists – Anton van Leewenhoek.
