In 1665, Robert Hooke published Micrographia, a book filled with drawings and descriptions of the organisms he viewed under the recently invented microscope. The invention of the microscope led to the discovery of the cell by Hooke. While looking at cork, Hooke observed box-shaped structures, which he called “cells” as they reminded him of the cells, or rooms, in monasteries. This discovery led to the development of the classical cell theory. The classical cell theory was proposed by Theodor Schwann in 1839. There are three parts to this theory. The first part states that all organisms are made of cells. The second part states that cells are the basic units of life. These parts were based on a conclusion made by Schwann and Matthias Schleiden in 1838, after comparing their observations of plant and animal cells. The third part, which asserts that cells come from preexisting cells that have multiplied, was described by Rudolf Virchow in 1858, when he stated omnis cellula e cellula (all cells come from cells) . Since the formation of classical cell theory, technology has improved, allowing for more detailed observations that have led to new discoveries about cells. These findings led to the formation of the modern cell theory, which has three main additions: first, that DNA is passed between cells during cell division; second, that the cells of all organisms within a similar species are mostly the same, both structurally and chemically; and finally, that energy flow occurs w...

• Known For: Experiments with a microscope, including the discovery of cells, and coining of the term • Born: July 18, 1635 in Freshwater, the Isle of Wight, England • Parents: John Hooke, vicar of Freshwater and his second wife Cecily Gyles • Died: March 3, 1703 in London • Education: Westminster in London, and Christ Church at Oxford, as a laboratory assistant of Robert Boyle • Published Works: Micrographia: or some Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies made by Magnifying Glasses with Observations and Inquiries Thereupon Early Life Robert Hooke was born July 18, 1635, in Freshwater on the Isle of Wight off the southern coast of England, the son of the vicar of Freshwater John Hooke and his second wife Cecily Gates. His health was delicate as a child, so Robert was kept at home until after his father died. In 1648, when Hooke was 13, he went to London and was first apprenticed to painter Peter Lely and proved fairly good at the art, but he left because the fumes affected him. He enrolled at Westminster School in London, where he received a solid academic education including Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, and also gained training as an instrument maker. He later went on to Oxford and, as a product of Westminster, entered Christ Church college, where he became the friend and laboratory assistant of Robert Boyle, best known for his natural law of gases known as Boyle's Law. Hooke invented a wide range of things at Christ Church, including a balance spring for watches, but h...

When it was first proposed in the early 1830s, the cell theory had two main components; the cell is the basic functional and structural unit of all living things and all living things are made of one or more cells. Credit for this theory is often given to the German scientists Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden, although their fellow scientist and countryman Rudolf Virchow made significant contributions later. There were several other people who helped lay the groundwork prior to the work of Schleiden and Schwann. Galileo Galilei’s historic invention of the microscope in 1625 was improved on by the work of Anton van Leeuwenhoek who made considerable improvements to the quality of the lenses in microscopes in 1670. But even before Leeuwenhoek’s lens improvements, the British scientist Robert Hooke had already coined the term “cell” in 1665 after looking at thin slices of cork under his microscope. Further understanding of cells came from the work of J.H.F. Link and Karl Rudolphi who, in 1804 conducted experiments that proved cells had their own cell walls and were independent of each other. Then, in 1833 botanist Robert Brown discovered the nucleus of plant cells. In 1855, Rudolf Virchow was recognized for his idea that became the third component of the cell theory at the time, Omnis cellula e cellula which is Latin for “cells only come from other cells.” The image above shows the German scientist Theodore Schwann who contributed to the first cell theory.

Would it surprise you to learn that it is a human cell? The cell is actually too small to see with the unaided eye. It is visible here in such detail because it is being viewed with a very powerful microscope. Cells may be small in size, but they are extremely important for life. Like all other living things, you are made of cells. Cells are the basis of life, and without cells, life as we know it would not exist. You will learn more about these amazing building blocks of life when you read this section. Figure \(\PageIndex\): Healthy human T-cell If you look at a living matter with a microscope — even a simple light microscope — you will see that it consists of cells. Cells are the basic units of the structure and function of living things. They are the smallest units that can carry out the processes of life. All organisms are made up of one or more cells, and all cells have many of the same structures and carry out the same basic life processes. Knowing the structure of cells and the processes they carry out is necessary to understanding life itself. Discovery of Cells The first time the word ce...

It was not until 1838 that the Mikroskopische Untersuchungen über die Übereinstimmung in der Struktur und dem Wachstume der Tiere und Pflanzen(1839; Microscopical Researches into the Accordance in the Structure and Growth of Animals and Plants). Schleiden’s contributions on plants were acknowledged by Schwann as the basis for his comparison of animal and plant structure. Schleiden and Schwann’s Each cell leads a double life: an independent one, pertaining to its own development alone; and another incidental, insofar as it has become anintegralpart of a plant. It is, however, easy to perceive that the vital process of the individual cells must form the first, absolutely indispensable fundamental basis, both as regards vegetablephysiologyand comparative physiology in general.

The theory was once universally accepted, but now some biologists consider History With continual improvements made to Microscopes The cell was first discovered by Cella, meaning ‘a small room’ like monks lived in, and also Cellulae, which meant the six-sided cell of a honeycomb. However, Hooke did not know their real structure or function. What Hooke had thought were cells, were actually empty cell walls of plant tissues. With microscopes during this time having a low magnification, Hooke was unable to see that there were other internal components to the cells he was observing. Therefore, he did not t...
