When Robert hooke looked at the cork with his microscope what was he really looking at?

He really saw A group of cell walls interlocking without anything inside of them. Because cork cells are dead, nothing living could be inside of them.

How do a microscope and telescope differ?
A telescope lets you see things far away and a microscope lets you see see things that are really small
What is a microscope slide and what is it used for?
A microscope slide is a small rectangular piece of glass that the sample (the thing you're looking at) is placed on for observation. Generally, the sample is next covered with a cover strip (a small piece of plastic, used to keep the sample from sliding). The slide makes it possible to look at the sample. Otherwise, the sample would fall into the microscope light, which would be a little inconvenient.
What things are looked at through electron microscopes?
Really small things. Because there are limits to how small an object we can observe through a light microscope, we developed the electron microscope. By setting up a sample and streaming electrons at it to resolve an image, we can "see" things smaller than we'd be able to see through a light microscope.
What kind of microscope do you need to see an ants exoskeleton?
i am not sure of what kind of microscope you need, but not something cheap at all, i can remember that i did this on a really cheap one a couple of years ago, a normal stereo microscope (optic) should work fine ;3

What Items should i look at under a microscope?
You should look at anything interesting under a microscope! I once got a small toy microscope at a book fair. I looked at many things but the thing that interested me the most was the picture in a book. If you look at a color in a picture in a book you will see that it's not yellow (or any color) that your looking at! It's really millions and millions of different colors! It's sooo... AWESOME!!! :-)
Who was the first person to name cell?
Robert Hooke did.
How did cells get their name?
The first person to name cells was Robert Hooke, who lived from 1635-1703. He was a mathematician and physicist who also happened to be the first person to make a compound microscope--a microscope with more than one lens to magnify things. He put thin slices of cork under the microscope and saw these sorts of squares. He thought these squares looked a lot like the rooms which monks stayed in, which were also called cells (also just like in a jail). Importantly, he also put other slices of plants, like onions, under the microscope and saw the same sort of square pattern--showing that the pattern wasn't just unique to cork. In reality, what this guy was seeing wasn't really 'cells' but the cell wall. It took other techniques to be able to see cell membranes, the sort of 'bag' which keeps the contents of a cell inside the cell. All cells are surrounded by cell membranes, and only some, like plants also have a cell wall.

How do you use a microscope with a mirror?
That depends on which microscope you want to use. For a compound microscope, use the following steps:Place a slide with a coverslip on the microscope's stage.Turn on the light at the microscope's base, or turn the glass disc until you get light to the microscope.Choose the objective lens that you want to use to view your object.Use the coarse adjustment to focus in LOW and MEDIUM power.If you go to HIGH power, use the fine adjustment to focus.If you hold a microscope, hold the arm with one hand and hold the base with your other hand.
What is the fur like stuff on butterfly's wings?
When looked at through an electric microscope, it seems as though the wings have fur own them. These are really tiny hair-like fibers. Many insects have these, such as bees- which have more noticable ones.
