What technology led to a better understanding of cells?

Answer 1

Most cells are so small that a microscope is needed to see them.The development of the cell theory went hand in hand with technological advances in the manufacture of lenses and magnifying devices in the 19th century.The microscope produced in the early part of that century enabled much greater detail to be seen.

Magnifying devices have been used since ancient times. Chinese porcelain vases, dated to around 1000BC, show people wearing glasses, and Greeks and Romans used glass flasks filled with water to magnify small objects. However, he first recorded study of cells was not until 17th century, when Robert Hooke used a microscope he developed to view a thin piece of cork. Robert Hooke's work in 1831 identified the nucleus as a large body to be fund inside cells.

Answer 2

Most people depend on technology now days & cells in some stuff just may die down into what we all know as technology!

Answer 3

Technology has allowed us to view close up the structure of cells and other microscopic organisms.

Answer 4

because the invention of the electron microscope helps us in the community by helping us understand the cellular functions.
