Robert Hooke was the first person to see cells in 1665. He was looking at a thin slice of cork through a microscope and he found found what he described as "tiny rooms" that he called cells (as that is what some small rooms are called). However, he believed that cells only existed in plants, not animals and bacteria.But if you are talking about animal cells, they were discovered by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, who was observing pond water with his microscope and saw single cell organisms which he called "animalcules"or animal molecules. He also disproved the theory of spontaneous generation.
The first person to publish an account of cells was the English scientist Robert Hooke. In 1665, he published a book called Micrographia, in which he recorded his observations of cork cells (and other objects). He also invented the word cell because the shapes which he saw with his microscope reminded him of the rooms (called cellula) which monks lived in. Hooke was born in 1635 at Freshwater on the Isle of Wight, on the south coast of England. He died in 1703, aged 67.

Robert Hooke discovered the cell in England in 1665. He was looking at a cork through a microscope and found small boxes he called cells. He named it a cell because it reminded him of a monks cell in a monastery. That ís how the cell was discovered.
Robert Hooke observed the "cells " of a cork in 1665, but the first person to see a real cell was Antoine Van Leeweenhoek in 1674, and he saw algae.
