The primary limitation of Leeuwenhoek's microscope is its relatively low magnification and resolution compared to modern microscopes. While he could achieve magnifications up to around 200-300x, the lenses were not able to provide the clarity needed for detailed cellular structures. Additionally, his microscopes had a narrow field of view and lacked the ability to adjust focus easily, making it challenging to observe larger specimens or multiple layers.
