- Robert Hooke discovered the cell in 1665 and reported it in his book Micrographia.
- He detailed 60 'observations' of diverse things under a crude compound microscope in this book.
- One observation came from very thin bottle cork cuts. Hooke discovered a slew of small holes he dubbed "cells."
- This derived from the Latin words Cella, which meant 'a little apartment' where monks resided, and Cellulae, which denoted a honeycomb's six-sided cell.
- Hooke, on the other hand, had no idea what their true structure or purpose was. What Hooke mistook for cells turned out to be empty plant cell walls.
- Hooke was unable to discern that the cells he was studying had other interior components due to the poor magnification of microscopes at the time. As a result, he didn't believe the "cellulae" were living.
