Robert Hooke discovered cells in 1665.

He did so while examining a thin slice of cork through a self-designed microscope.

He saw that the cork resembled the structure of a honey comb consisting of many little compartments.

These small boxes are called cells.

Hope you found this helpful :)

Robert Hooke discovered cells in 1665.

Discovery of cells:

  • Hooke discovered the cell as a result of the advent of the microscope.
  • Hooke saw box-shaped formations when gazing at cork, which he dubbed "cells" because they reminded him of monastic cells, or apartments.
  • This discovery paved the way for the creation of classical cell theory.
  • Robert Hooke initially discovered the cell in 1665, and it is detailed in his book Micrographia.
  • He detailed 60 'observations' of diverse things under a crude, compound microscope in this book.
  • Very tiny bits of bottle cork was used to make one observation.
  • He noticed that it looked suspiciously similar to cellula, or little apartments occupied by monks, hence the name.
  • However, what Hooke truly saw under the microscope were the dead cell walls of plant cells (cork).
