Biography:
After grammar school in Arnhem, Willem de Sitter went to Groningen to study mathematics However he did some experimental work for his physics curricula at the astronomical laboratory of the famous astronomer Jacobus C. Kapteyn. The latter was involved in measuring photographic plates from the Cape Observatory in South Africa, in collaboration with Sir David Gill to chart the southern skies. During a visit to Groningen Gill invited de Sitter to Cape Town, de Sitter accepted the invitation and decided to become an astronomer. He left in August of 1897 and among others worked on measurements of the four Galilean satellites of the planet Jupiter.
Towards the end of 1899 de Sitter returned to Groningen and obtained his Ph.D. degree there in 1901. The title was Discussion of Heliometer Observations of Jupiter's Satellites. In South Africa he also had met his wife Elanora Suermondt. The thesis, and in particular later work resulted in better orbits for these satellites, where also the mutual gravitational influences on each other s orbits were corrected on. This entailed new mathematical tools and approaches.
In 1908 de Sitter was appointed in Leiden as professor in theoretic astronomy and in 1918 he was appointed as director. Together with Kapteyn he reorganised the Observatory, where previously the work concentrated on fundamental observations of positions and motions of stars on the sky, the new observatory also concentrated from then on on astrophysics and theory. In spite of administrative duties, de Sitter still found time for studies on various aspects of astronomy and astrophysics. In particular his work on the General Theory of Relativity that Einstein had formulated, is universally known. He showed that the field equations that Einstein had formulated then very recently before also allowed a solution for the structure and evolution of the universe where it was expanding, contracting or oscillating. The first is now known to be the case. The most simple solution of the field equations for the expanding universe is called the Einstein-de Sitter Universe.
In 1919 de Sitter was operated for gallstones. However, the overdose of ether he was given resulted in a continuing poor health. Among others he suffered from tuberculosis, which made it necessary to spend two years in Arosa in Switzerland. He still succeeded in doing research and he arranged an agreement with the Union Observatory in Johannesburg, to jointly carry out observational studies. Also he took measures for two expeditions to Kenya to improve absolute positional measurements of stars on the sky. He received various important honors, among which the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society (1931) and the Bruce Medal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (1931). He was president of the International Astronomical Union from 1925 to 1928.

Leeuwenhoek was originally trained as a cloth merchant and a surveyor. He worked in various positions for the city of Delft: Usher to the Aldermen (1660), Surveyor to the Court of Holland (1669), Chief Warden (1677), Wine Gauger and or Inspector of Weights and Measures (1679). From around 1673 he made microscopes according to the design of Johannes Hudde. Leeuwenhoek grinded some 550 lenses, the quality of which was not surpassed until the nineteenth century. He communicated his observations by letters to other scholars, mostly to the Royal Society. He made his most important discovery in 1674: the true nature of micro-organisms.

Optical instrument maker and natural philosopher, who invented the screw-barrel simple microscope in circa 1694. First to observe spermicide through a microscope. Hartsoeker worked most of his life in France. In 1699, when he returned to the Dutch Republic, he was elected member of the Academie Royale des Sciences and in 1704 of the Königlich-Preußische Akademie der Wissenschaften, in both cases as one of the first foreign members. When Czar Peter the Great visited Amsterdam, he was offered the chair of mathematics in St Petersburg. Hartsoeker rejected this offer, but later, in 1704, Hartsoeker accepted the position of "first mathematician and honorary professor of philosophy" at the University of Heidelberg, offered to him by Johann Wilhelm, Elector the Palatine. He returned to the Netherlands around 1720. The last years of his life were spent in Utrecht.

Biography:
Born in 1629, Huygens was the son of the poet and diplomat, Constantijn Huygens. He studied law in Leiden and Breda. He was interested mainly in mathematics and proved to be very talented early in life. With his brother Constantijn Jr., he ground lenses and made astronomical observations. He also developed a very accurate pendulum clock and established a wave-theory of light. His discoveries attracted attention abroad, and, in 1666, he was asked to lead the newly founded Académie des Sciences in Paris. After a few years absence caused by illness, he resigned from the Académie. Later in life he wrote a book on cosmolog, called 'Cosmotheoros'.

Inventor of the pendulum clock ("slingeruurwerk") and the aerial telescope. Designer of the Huygens ocular. Huygens discovered the moon of Saturn (Titan) and explained that a ring was present around this planet. He also established the wave-theory of light.
