Robert Hooke
The first specimen to be placed under the microscope was likely a thin slice of cork viewed by Robert Hooke in the 17th century. This led to the discovery of "cells" and marked the beginning of modern microscopy.
He was the first person to record seeing cells in cork when viewed under the microscope. He first used the term 'cell' to describe what he saw.
The first object viewed under a microscope was a slice of cork, observed by the pioneering scientist Robert Hooke in 1665. He used a compound microscope to examine the cork, which revealed tiny, box-like structures he called "cells." This observation marked a significant milestone in biology, as it introduced the concept of cells as the fundamental units of life.
The first recorded observation of cork cells was made by English scientist Robert Hooke in 1665. He viewed thin slices of cork through a primitive microscope he had constructed, describing the cells he saw as resembling small, empty rooms or compartments.
Robert Hooke did not discover blood cells. He was the first person to see cells. He saw cells of the oak plant in cork. He viewed a tiny slice of cork under his microscope and saw small compartments which he called cells.
