The question is debatable as Thonius Philips van Leeuwenhoek (October 24, 1632 - August 30, 1723)1, Dutch scientist first observed the cell nuleus. "In 1682 he clearly described the nucleus within the red blood cells of fish, and in 1683 he noticed the sedimentation of erythrocytes from a suspension and their lysis upon addition of water."2
It was Robert Brown (December 21, 1773-June 10, 1858)3 a Scottish Botanist who observed and gave the name "cell nucleus". Brown, is best known for the discovery of Brownian motion random movement within fluids due to molecular energy of fluid and also used as a mathematical model for Stochastic processes (random i.e. financial markets, atmospheric events).2,4
Some sources site Brown and not van Leeuwenhoek as the discoverer.5

What else can I help you with?
Does an animal cheek cell have a nucleus?
Yes, animal cheek cells do have a nucleus. The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains genetic material that regulates cell functions.
What is the nucleus's job in a animal cell?
The nucleus controls the cell's functions.
What is the largest structure in animal cell?
The largest structure in an animal cell is the nucleus. It houses genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell's activities.
Do animal have nucleus?
Yes, animal cells have a nucleus, which contains the cell's genetic material (DNA). This nucleus acts as the control center of the cell, regulating its activities and directing cell growth and reproduction.
What is the largest cell organelle in animal cell?
The nucleus is the largest organelle in animal cells.
Is a nucleus part of an animal cell?
Yes there is a nucleus in an animal cell.
Does a animal cell have a cell wall a nucleus and a cytoplasm?
An animal cell doesn't have a cell wall although it has a nucleus and cytoplasm
Does a plant cell or a animal cell have nucleus?
both of them have a nucleus
Does an animal cheek cell have a nucleus?
Yes, animal cheek cells do have a nucleus. The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains genetic material that regulates cell functions.
What is the cell that has a nucleus?
both plant and animal cells have the nucleus. The plant cell is made of cytoplasm, chloroplast, nucleus, cell membrane and cell wall. The animal cell is made up of the nucleus, cell membrane and cytoplasm.
Function of nucleus in the animal cell?
The nucleus controls the cell's functions.
What is the nucleus's job in a animal cell?
The nucleus controls the cell's functions.
What is a animal cell that has no nucleus?
An erythrocyte or red blood cell has no nucleus.
Where is the nucleus in the cell in the body?
The nucleus is near the middle of an animal cell.
What is the largest structure in animal cell?
The largest structure in an animal cell is the nucleus. It houses genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell's activities.
What does a nucleus do on a animal cell?
It is the cell's "brain."
Where is the nucleus in an animal cell located?
The nucleus in an animal cell is located in the center of an animal or plant cell because it controls the movements of materials in and out of the cell as it contributes in the life span of a cell
