Microscope, beakers, scalpels, you name it.
Robert Hooke named the little boxes he saw under his microscope "cells" in 1665 when he observed them in a slice of cork. This discovery laid the foundation for the field of cell biology.
The scientist who used his microscope to discover plant cells was Robert Hooke. He made this discovery in 1665 when he observed thin slices of cork under a microscope and described the cells he saw as resembling small rooms or cells, leading to the term "cell" being used in biology.
Robert Hooke named the structures he saw under the microscope "cells" because they reminded him of the small rooms that monks lived in. This discovery laid the foundation for the development of the cell theory in biology.
Robert Hooke described the discovery of the cell in his publication titled "Micrographia," which was published in 1665. In this work, he detailed his observations of various specimens using a microscope, including cork, where he first coined the term "cell" to describe the small, box-like structures he observed. "Micrographia" is considered a foundational text in the field of microscopy and biology.
Another name for the light microscope is the optical microscope.
Microscopes help us to see tiny objects that can't be seen with the naked eye. The earliest microscope invented was in 1590 in Middelburg in the Netherlands and the inventer was Hans Lippershy and Zacharias Janssen. In 1625 a compound microscope was invented by Giovanni Faber, he coined the name Gailileo Galilei's compound microscope. (Galileo called the compound microscope "occhiolino" or "little eye".) The microscope lead scientists to the discovery of cells.
The another name for a compound microscope is a light microscope, as it uses light to illuminate the specimen being observed.
