After observing a thin slice of cork, Robert Hooke reported to the world that life's smallest structural units were "little boxes". Hooke was able to see individual cells. NOW, Anton van Leeuwnhoek was probably the first actually to observe live microorganisms.
The cells that were first seen were nonliving.

Living cells cannot be directly observed using an electron microscope because the vacuum environment and electron beam can damage or destroy the biological material. Additionally, living cells contain a lot of water which would evaporate in the vacuum, leading to cell shrinkage and distortion. To observe living cells, techniques like cryo-electron microscopy or fluorescence microscopy are used.
Robert Hooke is credited with being the scientist who first observed cells under a microscope. He observed and described cells in a thin slice of cork in his book "Micrographia" published in 1665.
Robert Hooke discovered and coined the term "cell" in 1665 while observing cork under a microscope. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek observed living cells and microorganisms present in pond water using a more powerful microscope, thus laying the foundation for the field of microbiology.
Anton Von Leeuwenhoek observed the first living cell in around 1674,although Robert Hooke observed a dead cell in 1663.
The cells that were first seen were nonliving.

Nonliving
Robert Hooke observed the dead cells of the cork tree when he looked at a thin slice of cork under his microscope in 1665. This led to the first documented observation of cells in plant tissue, which he described as "cells" due to their resemblance to the cells in a monastery's living quarters.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is credited with discovering free-living cells using his single-lens microscope in the 17th century. He observed various microorganisms, including bacteria and protozoa, in samples of water and other materials.

In 1673 Anton van Leeuwenhoek, who was a Dutch scientist, discovered animalcules. The animalcules were living cells that he observed in water from a pond.
Robert Hooke observed and named cells, the basic unit of all living organisms. He also saw cell walls, vacuoles, and nuclei within the cells he observed using a microscope.
First observed cells were plant cells. Robert Hook observed cork cells.
One observation of early scientists that supports the cell theory is that all cells divide which was observed in 1855. The other observation was that living things contain cells which was observed in 1839 by Theodor Schwann.
Robert Hooke was the first person to discover cells, but what he was observing was a dead plant cell. The first person who observed living cells was Leeuwenhoek.
