Robert Hooke, an English scientist, was the first person to observe cells under a microscope in 1665. He used a primitive microscope to look at thin slices of cork and described them as "cellulae" (Latin for little rooms) due to their box-like structure.
Hooke looked at a slice of cork and saw that it look like a cell where monks and nuns used to sleep.

Robert Hooke used the name cells to describe their shape and pattern.
The first scientist to observe cells under a simple microscope was Robert Hooke in the 17th century. In 1665, Hooke used a compound microscope to examine a thin slice of cork and described the cells he observed as resembling tiny rooms or cells, giving rise to the term "cell."
these something u would have to look up for yourself He thought the spaces looked like monks' rooms in a monastery, so he called them "cells".

Dead Cork cells
Robert Hooke discovered the cell in 1625 when he used a rudimentary microscope to magnify cork cells. They reminded him of monk's cells in a monastery so he named the objects he found "cells." He wasn't even looking for it. He found it by causality.
Robert Hooke 1665, his discovery marked the beginning of the cell theory (all living things are composed of cells).
Robert Hooke used a compound light microscope to find cells. He found cells looking at cork and thought that they looked like cells.
Robert Hooke used a compound microscope to make his scientific observations. He designed and built his own microscopes, which allowed him to discover and describe a variety of biological structures, including cells, in his studies.
