Robert Hooke, in the year 1665, used a compound microscope of six-inch long to visualize specimen under reflected light. He noted the observations in his book, Micrographia. He observed thin slices of bottle cork and reported honeycomb-like structures which he called ‘cell’. However, his observations did not have any indication of the internal components of the cell. He could not explain their origin either. He attributed the growth of his specimens to natural or artificial heat and termed it spontaneous regeneration
