Briefly boiled broth infused with plant or animal matter, hoping to kill all preexisting microbes. He then sealed the flasks. After a few days, observed that the broth had become cloudy, and a single drop contained numerous microscopic creatures. He argued that the new microbes must have arisen spontaneously.

Did not agree with Needham’s conclusions, results contradicted the findings of Needham. Heated but sealed flasks remained clear, without any signs of spontaneous growth, unless the flasks were subsequently opened to the air. This suggested that microbes were introduced into these flasks from the air.
