the microscope that allowed hooke to see tiny rectangular rooms which he called cells!
Robert Hooke.
The first scientist to observe cells under a simple microscope was Robert Hooke in the 17th century. In 1665, Hooke used a compound microscope to examine a thin slice of cork and described the cells he observed as resembling tiny rooms or cells, giving rise to the term "cell."
he built a microscope .
He discovered it in 1665
When Hooke looked at the cork cells through his microscope, he noticed that they looked like individual little chambers, and another word for chambers is cells, so that's why he called them 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.
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.
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.

Robert Hooke observed tiny compartments in cork samples under the microscope and thought they resembled small rooms or cells, so he referred to them as "cells". This discovery led to the term "cell" being used to describe the basic structural unit of living organisms.
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"
