In Biology:

Robert Hooke (1635-1703) is an English physicist. He contributed to the discovery of cells while looking at a thin slice of cork. He then thought that cells only exist in plants and fungi. In 1665, he published Micrographia.

For an additional information, another scientist, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1673) contributed to discovery of living and also motile cells by using a handmade microscope to observe pond scum, semen, dental plaque, etc. He then discovered single-celled organisms known as animalcules. He also observed fish, birds, frogs, dogs and human blood
