1665 Robert Hooke examined cork under a microscope and described "a great many little boxes" that reminded him of the cubicles or "cells" where monks live. He coined the phrase "cell".
1674 Anton van Leeuwenhoek - First to observe and report living cells. First to see and describe bacteria.
1838 Matthias Schleiden - First to observe and report that all plants were composed of cells.
1839 Theodore Schwann - First to observe and report that all animals were composed of cells. Theodore Schwann and Schleiden are attributed to the first two points of the Cell Theory.
1855 Rudolf Virchow - He finished the Cell Theory with the Latin phrase "omnis cellula a cellula" which translated means "all cells arise from cells"
The first scientist to observe cells under a microscope was Robert Hooke in 1665. He coined the term "cell" while examining a thin slice of cork.
The first person to determine that all living living things are made of cells was Theodor Schwan, a German scientist who concluded this by studying animals. Schwan knew that all plants are made of cells from previous scientist, Schleiden.
Robert Hooke
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.
A scientist and explorer can DISCOVER but a scientist can DISCOVER and INVENT
The first person to discover cells was Robert Hooke, an English scientist who observed cork cells under a microscope in 1665. He coined the term "cell" to describe the small, box-like structures he saw, which reminded him of the cells inhabited by monks.

Schleidan
Robert Hooke was the first scientist to identify the cells in cork in 1665. He named them celluae that means small rooms. He printed about them in the book Micrographia. He studied them through his own made primitive telescope. V.Leewenhoek was the first scientist to identify the living cells. Robert Hook identified dead cells.
The cell theory was first proposed by Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann in the 1830s. They proposed that all living organisms are composed of cells, which are the basic unit of structure and function in living things. Rudolf Virchow later added to the cell theory by proposing that all cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Discovered that all animals are composed of cells
Robert Hooke, an English scientist, was the first person to discover cells in 1665. He used a simple microscope to observe cork and described the box-like structures as "cells," which reminded him of monastery cells.
