Een heel inspirerend praktijkverhaal in het AD over reablement. Stanley Kemperaar verwijst als een van de langstwonenden in verpleeghuis De Leeuwenhoek van Stichting Humanitas in Rotterdam aan het belang van eigen regie, rust en vrijheid.

Stanley dacht dat hij er maar even zou wonen, maar inmiddels zit hij al vele jaren in verpleeghuis

Stanley Kempenaar (69) is een van de langstwonenden in De Leeuwenhoek. Het verpleeghuis van Humanitas aan de West-Kruiskade in Rotterdam geeft hem alle rust en vrijheid die hij wil.

“Nay, it’s pure water, surely. See how the sun shines in it if I lift the glass?”

“That’s what you need the master’s device for. Here, #peer through this at a drop of water from the glass. Do you see them? All the tiny animals? The master says they’re everywhere, in everything.”

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch scientist, was the first person to observe and describe microorganisms using a microscope. He called them 'animalcules'.

"I have seen several hundred animalcules caught fast by one another in a few filaments, lying within the compass of a coarse grain of sand."

1. Precies 300 jaar geleden #OTD overleed Antoni van #Leeuwenhoek. Snel naar de Oude Kerk in Delft gefietst. Prachtige glas-in-loodramen en het is ook de laatste rustplaats van zeehelden Maarten Tromp, Piet Hein en schilder Johannes Vermeer.
During a stay at #Nikon #Bioimaging Lab #NBIL in #Leiden /NL, today we had the chance to visit the very interesting exhibition at #rijksmuseum #Boerhaave about the history of how Antoni van #Leeuwenhoek discovered the first #microorganisms using the first #microscope. Definitely worth visiting!

.> How a Dutch fabric seller made the most powerful magnifying lens of his time—and of the next 150 years—and became the first person ever to see a microorganism....> on October 9, 1676, he followed up with another report so extraordinary that microbiologists today refer to it simply as “Letter 18”: Van Leeuwenhoek (lay-u-when-hoke) had looked everywhere and found what he called animalcules (Latin for “little animals”) in everything..> After a particularly uncomfortable evening, which he blamed on a fatty meal of hot smoked beef, he examined his own stool beneath his lens and saw animalcules that were “somewhat longer than broad, and their belly, which was flat-like, furnished with sundry little paws”—a clear description of what we now know as the parasite giardia..> ... his revelation provided the foundation for germ theory—the greatest leap forward in the history of medicine. Even more surprising, this monumental discovery was not made by one of the 17th century’s great scientific minds such as Galileo or Isaac Newton. Instead, a secretive, obsessive, self-taught Dutchman of little renown did it by handcrafting a lens 10 times more powerful than anything built before it. His design wouldn’t be bested for another 150 years.
