Why was the microscope important to the cell theory?

Answer 1

The microscope helped many scientists like Robert Hooke and Anton van Leeuwenhoek discover cells and their many parts/different structures. The cell theory as developed based on the data that was found using the microscope.

Answer 2

The development of the microscope allowed us to see cells with higher magnifications and allowed the development of the cell theory. There was greater understanding of cells. This development brought many discoveries that was helpful to understand more about cells and Biology.

Answer 3

the microscope helped us identify cell types and find them, before people used to believe all kinds of crazy things like devils in your head caused headaches, and they still do!the microscope helped us invent medicines (or effective ones) and helped us step into a new age of science and medicine

Answer 4

Scientists were able to start researching things that could not be seen with the naked eye. The microscope opened up a whole new world for discovery, the cellular level was realized and there you go.

Answer 5

The microscope gave conclusions and observations to the cell theory. It showed how the cell looked and how it developed.

Answer 6

microscopes are used to scale the image to a very small image so that you can see the things inside eg, to find the necleus,mitochondria,cytoplasm,etc.

Answer 7

Almost all cells are too small to be seen without a microscope. So microscopes helped scientists to see that all living things are made of cells.

Answer 8

microscopes helped scientists to see that all living things are made of cells.
