Robert Hooke first viewed cells with a microscope. He began calling them cells because they resembled the cells in which monks lived and worked.
Robert Hooke was the first to study and record cells by using a microscope.
To Robert hooke the cork seemed to be made up of empty little boxes boxes whitch he named cells.

The answer is that over the many years they have discovered clearer more zooming things.
Robert Hooke actually there is no such thing as non-living cells, there is a thing called dead cells. really you should just call them non-living. it uses the term 'non-living' in most science books, so I'm assuming that non-living would be a proper term.
he didnt create the cell theory
I think you might be talking about Robert Hooke, he first discovered cells by looking at cork from a cork tree under a microscope, he did not actually use the cork as an apparatus. Therefore i think this falls more under biology. However if that is not what your talking about then I honestly don't know.
Robert Hooke used a compound light microscope to find cells. He found cells looking at cork and thought that they looked like cells.
The first person to use the word "cells" in a biological context was Robert Hooke in the 17th century. He used the term to describe the small compartments he observed in a slice of cork under a microscope, likening them to the cells in a monastery.

He used the microscope!!!
a thin slice of cork and microscope
In 1663, Hooke observed the structure of a thin slice of cork using a compound microscope he had built himself. Cork, the bark of an oak tree, is made up of cells that are no longer alive. To Hooke, the cork looked like it was made up of tiny rectangular rooms, which he called cells.
Robert Hooke used the word cell when he looked at cork through the microscope because he probably thought of prison cells (prison cells are all squashed together like cells/cell particles of the cork).
Robert Hooke
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek is the first who observe the tiny, unicellular living things but Robert Hooke is the one who confirmed Leeuwenhoek's observations and was the first to use the term cell. Robert Hooke was also the first person to observe non-living cells.
Robert Hooke built the compound microscope. this microscope was made out of more that one lens
