No he discovered it in the 19th century
The invention of the microscope in the 17th century enabled scientists to discover and study cells. This tool allowed for the observation of cells at a level of detail previously impossible with the naked eye, leading to groundbreaking discoveries in the field of biology.
The discovery of cells was made possible due to advancements in microscopy in the 17th century. Scientists like Robert Hooke and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek were able to observe and describe cells for the first time, leading to the development of cell theory by Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann.
The first scientist to observe cells under a microscope was Robert Hooke in 1665. He coined the term "cell" while examining a thin slice of cork.
A simple version of a compound microscope was used to discover cells. Robert Hooke first described cells in 1665, using a compound microscope. Soon after, Anton van Leeuwenhoek also studied cells using a microscope with more advanced lenses.
The discovery of cells began with Robert Hooke's observations in 1665, but it took several decades for the scientific community to fully accept the existence of cells. The development of the cell theory in the mid-19th century, primarily through the work of scientists like Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, solidified the concept of cells as fundamental units of life. Thus, it took about 200 years from Hooke's initial discovery for cells to be widely accepted and integrated into biological understanding.

Scientists discovered the existence of cells, microorganisms, and structures within cells, such as organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. Microscopes have also helped researchers study complex biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels.
It took several decades for the scientific community to fully accept the existence of cells after their discovery in the mid-17th century. Early microscopists like Robert Hooke and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek provided crucial observations that eventually led to the widespread recognition of cells as the fundamental unit of life.
