Wrong word— edit

In the following sentence: "Van Leeuwenhoek has been attributed as the first person to use a histological stain to color specimens observed under the microscope using saffron."

The word "attributed" is improperly used. "Acknowledged" would be more appropriate here. —Or perhaps the wording could be changed to: "The first use of a histological stain (he used saffron) to color specimens under the microscope has been attributed to van Leeuwenhoek." 2001:5B0:270F:3228:3147:99FB:E9E0:82FA (talk) 16:46, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Inconsistent use of capital letters for "van" edit

Should it be "van Leeuwenhoek" or "Van Leeuwenhoek"? I think it should consistently be spelled "van Leeuwenhoek", but the article is inconsistent. Bueller 007 (talk) 22:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
