The cells that were first seen were nonliving.

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.
Living cells were first observed by the scientist Robert Hooke in 1665 using a microscope. He called the small compartments he observed "cells" due to their resemblance to small rooms or cells in a monastery. This discovery laid the foundation for the field of cell biology.
The scientist who first observed cells was Robert Hooke. He observed cells in a piece of cork under a microscope in the 17th century and coined the term "cell" to describe the small compartments he saw.
The first scientist to observe living cells was Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century using a primitive microscope. He observed single-celled organisms, which he called "animalcules", in samples of water and other materials. This discovery paved the way 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.
First observed cells were plant cells. Robert Hook observed cork cells.
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.
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.
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek is the first who observe the tiny, unicellular living things but Robert Hooke is the one who confirmed Leeuwenhoek's observations and was the first to use the term cell. Robert Hooke was also the first person to observe non-living cells.
Robert Hooke observed the first non-living cell.
Matthias Schleiden first observed plant cells, or at least first came up with a part of cell theory including cells.
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.
