Robert Hooke was a mathematician and physicist. He also studied and contributed to biology, mainly known for discovering the cell. He took a piece of Spanish oak (cork) and prepared a thin slice by means of a sharp penknife.
A deep planoconcave lens was used for throwing light on the cork piece. The latter was observed under the microscope.
The piece of cork was found to have a honeycomb structure with a number of box-like compartments, each having a pore and separated from others by diaphragms. Robert Hooke named the compartments as cellula, now known as cells.
