When viewing a cork through his homemade microscope Robert Hook discovered small compartments that he called cells.
the microscope that allowed hooke to see tiny rectangular rooms which he called cells!
He called them cells.

Robert Hooke.
he built a microscope .
He discovered it in 1665
the cell was "invented" cause when he looked through the microscope, he called the tiny boxes cells.
Robert Hooke used a microscope to examine a piece of cork from an oak tree and saw tiny boxes similar to a monk's cell (which is a small room) so he named the structure 'cells'.

Two of the first scientists to view cells were Robert Hooke and Anton van Leeuwenhoek. Well in 1663, Hooke observed the structure of a thin slice of cork using a compound microscope he had built himself. To Hooke, the cork looked like tiny rectangular rooms, which he called cells.
Cells
In 1663, Hooke observed the structure of a thin slice of cork using a compound microscope he had built himself. Cork, the bark of an oak tree, is made up of cells that are no longer alive. To Hooke, the cork looked like tiny rectangular rooms, which he called cells.
Because it was filled with holes that looked like tiny rooms, or cells. Cells as we know today, as living things, came from Hooke's expression.
Hooke found the cell when looking underneath a microscope at his home where he saw dead cells of a piece of cork. He named these cells because they looked like tiny rooms meaning cells.

First cells were seen and described by Robert Hooke. He first looked at cork cells under a simple microscope, he noted that that cells look like tiny rooms that monks lived in. These tiny rooms were called cells and that's the reason for the name.
When Hooke first looked through his mircoscope he broke of a tiny part of cork and found that it was not a solid object but was composed of numerous tiny cavities. They tiny cavities had small cells which made Robert Hook think of the rows of bare rooms or cells in which the monks lived in a monastery, He named what he saw "opening cells"
Robert Hooke in 1665 Robert Hooke an English scientist cut a thin slice of cork and looked at it under his microscope. to Hooke the cork seemed to be a bunch of tiny boxes which he called "cells"
